Synopsis | LARPlay follows Ash, a stubborn non-gamer recovering from a near-death experience, who is reluctantly pulled into a LARP designed by her late childhood friend. As she struggles with grief and the fear of her own mortality, the fantasy world begins to feel more real. Forcing her to confront what it truly means to fight, to play, and to keep living. | ||
