The Dark Quarter

This application is a digital companion for The Dark Quarter board game from Lucky Duck Games. The Dark Quarter is a cooperative digital hybrid adventure game that tells a rich, dynamic story through a multi-scenario campaign. Players are invited to make critical decisions that will not only affect their characters but also change the course of the narrative itself. Characters are not simply avatars, easily replaceable from one scenario to the next; instead, they are woven into the very fabric of the story. Their destiny and the destiny of New Orleans are inextricably linked. The game is a digital hybrid, mixing physical components with the app. Players move their miniatures around the map, roll dice to perform tests, and scan QR codes printed on cards to use items. The app guides the use of physical components, provides narration, and describes the results of the players’ actions.
