Enter the Survival Horror is a Forged in the Dark tabletop RPG about dark corridors, deadly creatures, dwindling resources, and impending doom. It's a game about weighing the worth of the last of your shotgun shells. It's a game about the joy of discovering a safe room or a key. It's a game about mastering your environment while losing yourself. It's a game that seeks to capture the drama and stress of the golden age of survival horror games. So go ahead, throw open the doors, and Enter the Survival Horror.
What makes this game special?
- Forged in the Dark. Inspired by the brilliant Blades in the Dark ruleset, enjoy a rules-light, strategic, fiction-first structure with mechanics built for drama.
- Impending Doom. The Doom Clock hangs over the game, filling as you play. When it fills, the world gets worse.
- Lucky Find. Players are empowered to declare that they have found something useful. The perfect tool for the job is always on hand... at a cost.
- Listen to Your Instincts. Inspired by Disco Elysium, your mental stats are characters who you can talk to you and will give you guidance. But beware, because they have their own priorities and agenda.
- Tactical Combat. You are hopelesssly outclassed by the deadly creatures you encounter. Mechanics like Focus turn combat into a deadly puzzle, where you need to use your wits to come out on top.
- Making Danger Fun. Player death and unexpected failure can be a drag. The design of EtSH makes sure that players always understand the stakes and consent to the danger. Instead of simple death, players suffer a Catastrophe which provides a menu of compelling disasters you might suffer while keeping the tension high and staying in the game. Safety tools are also included to help ensure the table is comfortable and engaged.
