All Flesh is Grass
A downloadable game
It is August 1965. Yesterday, the residents of Millville in Grant County, Wisconsin (pop. 164) woke to discover a mysterious barrier around their village. Through trial and error, they found that the barrier lets no life pass through it – only inanimate objects.
Yesterday evening, a short story about the barrier appeared on page 3 of the Fennimore Herald.
Today, at lunchtime, Senator Wilson and representatives of the federal government meet with the mayor of Millville in a large tent erected across the barrier on the road to Bridgeport.
The barrier itself is invisible but stretchy. Trying to walk through it is like trying to walk while being pulled back by elastic bands. Eventually, the force is too great and throws you back.
All Flesh is Grass is a freeform larp for 13 players by Steve Hatherley.

I had the pleasure of playing one of the sequel games to this prior to their release. It was a really good game, and I'm so excited to read and play this one too!
Thanks Rei! I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and I hope you like All Flesh is Grass.
