Make your choice. Save your home. Are you ruthless enough to survive the post-apocalypse? With enthralling storytelling and a bone-chilling live soundtrack, What We Must will immerse you in a dark and desperate wasteland of your own creation. The clock is ticking, and working with your fellow survivors, you must decide just how much you're willing to sacrifice to protect the people you love. We have to get home. Terrible choices lie in our path. We will do what we must. What We Must is a TTRPG inspired storytelling experience where the audience play the survivors of the post-apocalypse. You have 5 days to get home before everyone dies, and each day brings a new situation and a new choice, it is up to you how ruthless you will be and whether you make it home in time.
