About a week ago, a comet touched down not far from your home. Things since then have been… Strange. The faintly opalescent mist that clings to the hillside. The new life that’s sprung up around the forest. The inhuman wailing in the distance. Something is out there. You need to put a stop to it, before it gets out…
A hack of Kn1ght, Rel1ct uses the same system of card based prompts with a d6 ‘roll against’ mechanic. The story of the game is tied to the exploration of a strange crash site and showdown with the entity at the center of the mysterious events that plague your home. As with Kn1ght, death is a very real possibility for your character. It is less about heroism and more about exploring the horrors of the entity’s incursion into the world.
Rel1ct features content warnings for Death, Violence, mild to moderate Body Horror, and Insects.
An 8″x8″ book printed on 170gsm paper, this features 30 pages of rich illustrations and writing room for three attempts.
Inspired by Portal at Hill House, by Press Pot Games; Sleepaway, by Possum Creek Games; The Colour Out of Space, by H.P. Lovecraft; and Annihilation, by Jeff VanderMeer.
