By following the voice and clues of Ludmilla, the multifaceted co-protagonist of the novel, players will explore the intricate interweaving of Calvino’s 10 books-within-the-book, amidst analog puzzles and digital experiences, trying to “solve” them before the alarm clock rings and the dream comes to an end.
The voices of musicians Adele Altro and Marco Giudici (Any Other) will guide them through the game.
Available for groups of 2-6 players, Ludmilla was first presented at Liceo Virgilio in Mantua from Saturday, September 2nd to Sunday, September 10th, 2023, as part of the Calvino in gioco (“Calvino at play”) programme, a tribute by Festivaletteratura to the writer’s centenary.
