Stories of Lifesavers

Our world has always been full of problems we have a really hard time solving: random violence, scenes of injustice, chronic diseases, useless wars, etc.

But there also other problems, here called Situations, that, even when reputed trivial by the headlines, are felt weighty by those who experience them: a son whose mother can barely make it to the end of the month, a daughter who worries for her father, enlisted in the military to fight a war far away from home, a water shortage in the small town you live in, a brother with a mental illness, and so on. 

In these scenarios, when you can’t do much to solve the problem, you just strongly hope that somebody will come and save the day. 

Superheroes have been there to give people hope and inspiration, letting them know that, no matter what, there’s always a solution.

This game tells the stories of a group of normal teenagers, who, burdened by a Situation they don’t know how to solve, try to find a way by creating superheroes’ stories.

The players will interpret these teenagers in their attempt to create the origin of the superhero, what they have become now and one episode (like in those weekly comic books) in which the superhero solves a situation that resembles the problem the teenager is experiencing in their real life — knowing that, in the end, the heroes always win.
