The Long Dig: Aeronauts Table Top Game Short Film – Review
The Long Dig is a short film that plays into a bigger world without leaving the viewer in the dark. The film acts as a live-action intro to the Aeronauts tabletop game universe. Written by Kate Hackett and director, Tom R. Pike, The Long Dig is a science-fiction fantasy adventure that delivers. Not to be confused with the Amazon Prime original film The Aeronauts, this role-playing game from Electric Purple Studios takes place in a world covered not in white, fluffy clouds, but a mysterious purple mist filled with horrors. The Aeronauts are those who dare to rise above the purple haze, where a new world is emerging. Players determine whether they will take on the role of altruistic diplomats looking to unite the members of an emerging civilization or those who dwell below where survival is the name of the game. The Long Dig chooses to spend its 15-minute quest with a group of outcasts who escape the mist for a time by going underground to scavenge for supplies.
