With the help of a family therapist, Yahweh, Eve, Adam, and Lilith attempt to find themselves and each other. This results is an extraordinary journey through feelings of doubt, betrayal, and guilt.
The scenario is set as a 1-hour therapy session. The characters confront their own and others' mistakes, regrets, traumas, and conflicts, as well as the profound impact they have had on each other's destinies. The therapist guides them with questions and psychological exercises. The scenario’s structure is open, inviting players to humanize the familiar biblical characters with compassion and a humorous twist.
The scenario is humorously pseudo-realistic. Despite the characters taking the situation seriously, there is room on a meta-level to laugh at the pettiness and absurdity.
Will Adam and Eve get together again? Has Yahweh truly changed? Is Lilith too much of a feminist to ever find a partner? Can 6000 years of disappointment and resentment be resolved in a divine reconciliation? It's entirely up to the players...
