This total transformation mod (not following Fallout lore) aims to bring to life anarchist utopias after Global meltdown. It takes place in eastern part of former Canada and United-States. The game is a bilingual (french & english) single player non-linear RPG. It can be called a radical camping simulator or a positive post-apocalyptic game. The world has been challenged by the Sum of all heavily anticipated catastrophies. Humans survived and organised themselves according to a mix of anarchistic, aboriginal, technological and nomadic ways of living, mostly driven by anarchist ideas (anti-domination, direct democracy, freedom and autonomy). In-game, "Sum" refers to the sum of all catastrophies, a cult, a currency and mispellings of words "son" and "sun". The Sum (french version : Nous Aurons) is an art project created by the french-canadian artist Hugo Nadeau (www.hugonadeau.com).
Multidisciplinary experience mixing The Sum mod, live music and sound effects by Antonio de Braga and Fred Lebrasseur (Quebec city composers). The project merges these three components to intensify our encounter with the imaginary space of a video game and seek to creates a serious and revolutionary party. Excerpt from a public presentation at Recto-Verso in April 2016.
The event has been co-produced with Recto-Verso and La Bande-vidéo.
