"A new Punchdrunk show is always a big deal. And blessedly, they're becoming increasingly common. After the eight-year gap between 2014's and 2022's , the immersive theatre legends fired out another two in the form of 2024's , with an The Drowned Man The Burnt City Viola's Room and this, their latest, unnamed National Theatre collaboration due next year. But every one still feels like an event, not least because nouveau Punchdrunk is given to startling reinvention, after years of spectacular but essentially similar shows."
"Sent to an alien planet to harvest a resource called Radiance, you get roughly an hour of game time, following 30 minutes of scene setting and tech stuff. Half of your mission time will be spent in a 'landing craft', manning a console that allows you to track the other half of your team, who will be making their way through an abandoned colony trying to find and harvest the Radiance. The craft team directs the away team via radio mic, steering them towards the resources"
Lander 23 places teams of four into a mission-based live-action 'stealth exploration game' set on an alien planet. Players are split into two pairs who alternate between manning a landing craft console and navigating an abandoned colony to harvest a resource called Radiance. Gameplay consists of roughly an hour of active game time after thirty minutes of scene-setting and technical briefing. The craft team guides the away team via radio, steering them toward resources and away from masked actors acting as roaming hostile guards. A scoring system and leaderboard track objective progress. The show has been running in early access since November.
