UK studio Salix Games and creative agency Liquid Crimson are teaming up to present Overdue Exorcism, a one-night Actual Play event starring a full stable of England’s greatest video game voice actors. The concept might sound familiar, but who says America has to hog all the attention with this sort of thing?
The plot of Overdue Exorcism hasn’t been discussed — they tell us it’s basically “watching ghosts face off in the afterlife” — but the real fun is in the audience participation. The event will be streamed live on Twitch, with donations going to SpecialEffect, a charity organization that supports disabled gamers. Each donation can direct the flow of what happens through fundraising milestones…if a certain monetary goal is met, the cast might have to swap possessions or change accents, or even sing. Viewers will also be able to trigger pranks on the cast like mandatory dance-offs or something unpleasant called “chili-chocolate roulette.”
Who’s playing? The cast includes Billie Fulford-Brown (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Somatic), Dave Jones (Baldur’s Gate III, Alma’s Not Normal), Kathryn Vinclair (Warhammer Soul Arena, Conan Exiles), Kit Harrison (Genshin Impact) and some unannounced special guests, with Natalie Winter (LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Astrologaster) running the show as Game Master.
“We’re not here to play it safe – we’re here to summon ghosts, break rules and blow the doors off tabletop streaming,” says Lauran Carter, Comms Director at Liquid Crimson. “It’s theatre meets games meets rock show – and it’s all for SpecialEffect!”
The live stream will be broadcast on SpecialEffect’s Twitch channel from 6-10 PM British Standard Time (subtract a few hours from this depending on where you are), with music courtesy of Emperia Records, and production by Salix Games and Liquid Crimson. Don’t miss the chaos and fun October 3!
