At the New Beginnings clinic, we can help you find solutions to your problems. You are troubled: we have the answers. Today’s lives are complex and demanding, and deep-rooted psychological issues can bring unhappiness to even the most successful. Here at New Beginnings, we will use the most scientifically-advanced techniques and tools available to help you confront and defeat your troubles.

​​Each of our clients is given a dedicated treatment plan, with a world-leading artificially-intelligent expert system to provide individual therapy. These systems are ‘trained’ to fit closely to your particular therapeutic needs – and they continue to ‘learn’ as they work with you. At the end of treatment, the AI system will have its memory securely wiped clean, so you can be sure that the details of your treatment cannot be revealed. This security encourages full and whole-hearted engagement with the potent and radical treatments that we offer.

Participant roles consist of 12 troubled and well-funded clients of the clinic; the 12 AI therapists who are individually paired with these clients; and the 4 psychiatric staff who run the facility.

The Clinic is not a larp about android revolution. It’s about the psychology of close relationships. Some of the play for clients and therapists will be in one-on-one sessions, which may be intense; and we will facilitate signing up in pairs for participants who would prefer to be paired with someone of their choice. However, it’s also entirely possible to sign up individually and then to be paired with someone whose play preferences match yours.

The design of 
The Clinic is opt-in transparent. We will publish all details of the backgrounds, so that players can be aware of what sorts of material will be involved, and can steer storylines if they wish: but you don’t have to read it if you would rather be surprised.
