Which Theme did you choose?

How did you implement your chosen Theme in your game?
I took inspiration from Stanley V Longman three syndromes that define the Theatre of Grotesque, mainly the 'marionette' syndrome (characters being manipulated to take actions agains their will, even if they can see the absurdity of the situation), and the 'multiple reality' syndrome (two or more planes of reality that shouldn’t be able to coexist but do, in this case a theatre play that is also the reality of the characters/actors).

I wanted to try and make the player feel the absurdity of the situation, while being unable to do anything about it except watch it unfold and be a participant, since the game can’t move without the players input.
Aside that the use of masks with exaggerated expressions, and tried to give the actors one dimension to their roles.

While reading about Theatre of the Grotesque I really liked the idea of how, quote
“It uses comedy, specifically physical comedy, and irony, to frame its existential questioning.”, which is why the weird humor in the game, hopefully.

Did you implement any of your Theme's Bonus Challenges, and if so, which ones?
Body Horror: There are several dead bodies in different states of dismemberment. Not as many as I initially planned tho.

Animal Masks: I have animals with human masks, not sure if that counts. Originally the Audience had animal masks but I didn't had time to implement those.
