Real1st Games, founded in 1999 and based in Okinawa and Poughkeepsie, is the creator of a series of franchise immersive experiences.

Our Manifesto

1. Games reflect more about ourselves than anything, they reveal our hidden frailties, our fetishes, our sense of purpose in a world whose system, while perfectly logical in its own infinite complexity, nevertheless is an incapacitating chaos to the feeble human mind.

2. We aim to fill the gaping void of Purpose in the human existence that was lost when Survival ceased being a way of life.

3. We strive to build a better reality, to provide the missing Truth that was forgotten, gradually, through the ages of Enlightenment (the ivory tower), Industrialization (the blacking factory), and Postmodernism (the carpeted office cubicle).

4. Humans seeks and strive through two antithetical motivations: competition and collaboration. We engender an agonistic relationship between those who choose to embrace another meaning in life besides the humdrum workaday world, full of its meandering aleatoric gubble.

5. Fulfillment is that which involves discovering, enacting, overmastering, and immersing within that which one excels. We attempt to provide that fulfillment through the Algorithm of Hope, which posits that all are created equal, and that any series of human attributes, dispersed widely enough across abilities, will always, always equal 100.

5. When humans work together, they rise to the level of mystical Oneness that has been glimpsed, variously, through teachings of Gotama, salvia divinorum, and RPGs.
