Underneath the Radar

by Michael Bonsall

Right, is it on? Beauty. G'day. This is Jezza, Terry's holding the mike, Bill's got a small fire going and Jim's helping cook our meal. Possibly our Last Supper as it were. Hah. We're four teenagers who grew up around what used to be Melbourne. We've managed to get out of the Southland Young Men's Christian Training Centre, we're heading for the old university at Monash, which is now the Convent of the Blessed Scripture. Grandad used to tell me about a great Australian Institution, he called it. The Institution of Mateship. Looking out for your mates. Didn't matter who or what they were. They were your mates. I think I know what that means. It means there are people who are willing to risk everything to help you out and bugger the consequences. Seems a lot to go through just to say goodbye to the girl you love before she's forced to become a Bride of Christ, don't it?

Underneath the Radar is a four to five player game set in a post-apocalyptic Melbourne suburbia, where the Post Rapture Most Holy Church of Christ dictates everything about your life, from birth, to education, to marriage, to death.
