"There is a place that is not a place, a state of existence outside of normal experience. It is the nexus of the conscious and subconscious, the merging of instinct and thought. In this hyper-reality, real and unreal are one and the same.

The Silhouette Rouge beckons."

You are invited to experience the oddity of a roleplaying game Noumenon. Players will assume the roles of the Sarcophagi, strange insect-like creatures trapped within the Silhouette Rouge, a dreamscape mansion of symbolism and mystery. No prior tabletop roleplaying experience is assumed. Players can choose from a set of pre-created characters. The game will last 2-3 hours, with a break included. Game language will be English, or Finnish if all players wish for it.

The encounters within the Silhouette Rouge will contain themes of identity, isolation, meaning in life and memory. Content warning include: insects, claustrophobia and existential topics.

What were you before you entered? And was that any more real than what you are here?
