Silverpoint

[squirmelia]

I've recently been playing Silverpoint, which is a pattern-matching game, but it also has a bit of a story with it, and alternate reality game elements also.






I made an appointment (in the game) with a hairdresser in Shoreditch. It was rather creepy and a strand of my hair was taken.



This was on the pavement outside:

Sounds like a fun game.

Some of it is fun, but some of it is a bit scary! I have been to performances by Punchdrunk before though, so at least have a bit of an idea of what to expect.

I am not really a very tactile kind of person and found the hairdresser appointment a little difficult, but I told myself repeatedly that it is just a game, just a game, and that I should enter into the spirit of it.

I haven't visited a hairdresser in 20 or so years and was unsure whether the people who looked like they were just normal people getting their hair cut actually were or if they were all actors. :)

I received a strange phone call today and on Wednesday I am attending the finale. Am quite excited!
