Description
A nostalgic choose-your-own-adventure comedy where the audience plays the show like an actual video game.
Audience members are in total control of the show thanks to an actual video game controller. Every button press triggers a sound cue (e.g “PUNCH”) which makes the on-stage Karate Man actor do exactly that (e.g PUNCH).
Players choose where he goes, who he meets and what he’ll PUNCH, KICK or EXTRACT HEART from next. With Karate Man’s custom-made tech system, the options are endless.
Many years have passed since Karate Man defeated Ross Roundkick and saved Karatetown. Now, our hero must face his greatest foe yet: domestic life.
Which chore will he do? What job will he apply for? He saved Karatetown, but can he save… his marriage?
Take control of Karate Man through an expansive adventure, as he battles his inner demons, his outer enemies, and the looming threat of divorce.
