A horror game for 3+ players and 1 deck of cards.
Together, you all have come to a dark wood, cursed ruin, scientific outpost, or somewhere else beyond the reach of others’ aid. Most of you are Humans, but one of you is a shapeshifting Demon who plans to devour the rest.
This diceless horror tabletop game is inspired by the Betrayal board game series, the Trophy Dark RPG, and the movie The Thing. The rules are only about 400 words long, and are designed to fit on a 4"x6" or 3"x5" index card. A plain text version is also included. Devoured was made for the 2020 Halloween Micro-Game Micro-Jam.
Devoured is very flexible in terms of how much and what kind of horror elements you want to include. I recommend setting clear expectations before you play (e.g., using Lines and Veils) to make sure everyone has fun.
If you play it, I'd love to hear your feedback!
