Mainman Christofer Johnsson comments: „Paulo Vallerga from the famous game developer Scibabs approached the band at the show in Milano last year with this great idea of making a fantasy board game based upon the stage characters mixed with mythology, and we instantly thought it was the coolest thing we've heard in ages and loved the idea!
The name of the game is „011“ and you will find me, Thomas, Christian, Johan, Snowy, Katarina, Lori and Nalley appearing as even more fantastic characters than we are in reality! ; -)“
There will be more news on this coming soon!
Et la description du jeu sur le site de Scribabs, la société qui va le développer:
THE STORY SO FAR
"011" is set in a ucronic time, during an undefined “year 011”. The world can be described as an alternate version of XIX century. Science is deeply bound with esotericism, as many religions and creeds coexist with philosophies and convictions, in a cauldron of cultures and ideals that is both challenging and frightening at the same time. Events take place in Turin.
Turin, everyone knows, is a magical town. To be precise, Turin has the higher concentration of mystical energies of the whole planet, as is the only city that belongs both to the black magic triangle - with London and San Francisco - and, at the same time, to the white magic triangle, with Prague and Lyon. A cold and long winter is raging: 3 years ago the snow started to fall, and never stopped. The Fimbulvetr of the norse legends is ending and so the Ragnarök is coming. 8 brilliant scientists discover the lost tome of the “Edda”, that narrates that the only way to stop the Ragnarök is to discover a man whose future is completely obscure, called the Chosen One. The Chosen one must play a Mystical Song with the magical Pipe Organ hidden somewhere in the city, or the world as we know it will end.
But the Ragnarök can also be a new beginning for the righteous ones! One of the investigators opens his soul to Fenrir's spirit, and from that moment he works in the name of the Wolf God, to discover the Chosen One: killing him will let the Ragnarök start, and will grant to the man an eternal life in the Gimlé!
One of the very particular note is the extraordinary participation in the game, in the guise of protagonists, of the members of Therion, the Swedish symphonic metal band founded by Christofer Johnsson. The musicians have performed with great enthusiasm to embody the steampunk atmosphere of the game; so, the month of June will see the creation of a video (written by Paolo Vallerga and made by Silos Production) in which the band will lives their alter ego in the game ... for now we can not say nothing more!
