The year is 2599. Humanity has gone to the stars and seeks to forge a new destiny. The starliner, Persephone, carries cargo and passengers on a wayward journey to a new Sol colony on the moon Io. Among its cargo are ancient relics from Earth, ecologically devastated, in the hopes of preserving humanity's legacy. Unbeknownst to the crew or passengers, a dark and sinister terror has awakened.
Project: Day Breaker is a GM-less tabletop game where you take on the roles of a ragtag group of misfits onboard the Persephone. How will your group survive their ordeal on a ship infested with vampire spawns and the Prince of Darkness himself, Dracula?
A wooden brick tower simulates the tension as the ship's systems break down, you face terrifying foes, and find any means to survive with a bunch of volatile strangers. Each character moves' bring the Persephone to life while revealing more about themselves, sometimes inconveniently.
This game was inspired by Snakes on the Plane, Hobbs & Shaw, Gackt (Daybreakers single), and Underworld.
