The Bleakness RPG

The frozen ground rises to meet the snow-scarred sky at a point indiscernible,
the monotone broken only by pitch masses of secretive trees.
This is the path you chose, Traveler. Enter The Bleakness.

The Bleakness is a stand-alone horror RPG where players take control of pilgrims, traveling into the far North on an ancient road. Players must balance progression with survival mechanics, and weigh the cost of venturing away from the path in search of answers to the mystery that hangs over the world.

The Bleakness uses a unique system where players progress through a series of set-pieces with randomly generated encounters in between. This process creates exciting emerging narratives and builds suspense as players struggle to survive and make sense of what they encounter. The randomized nature of The Bleakness ensures that it is endlessly entertaining to run.

The Bleakness is a system, campaign setting, and detailed adventure arc bound in one text. Gritty survival mechanics and the threat of the unknown create a high-tension game like no other.
