I'M SO STOKED

GIVE UP THE GHOST - a new mystery roleplaying game is now LIVE On KICKSTARTER!!

GIVE UP THE GHOST is a dialogue-based roleplaying game set in a strange city at the center of the world. Assume the role of Overseer Alhart, a one-eyed wanderer tasked to investigate a grim and prophetic fire. You’ll explore the weird, haunted corridors of the city Forde, and in your search for answers -- you will come to know the heart of the city as well as your own. 

Your character, the Overseer, was born in this city… but you have never returned until now. Upon your arrival, the tide of history comes flooding back, and you’ll have to stake your share of the waters. Choose how to immerse yourself in this place, this city at the center of the world -- do you remain forever a stranger? Or will you reclaim your name? 

Taking inspiration from legendary narrative games like Planescape: Torment and Disco Elysium, GIVE UP THE GHOST is about choosing how to live at the end of all things. You’ll confront the city’s pain, and work to uncover the traces of beauty still there. 

If you’re into narrative roleplaying games about cities, liminal spaces, history, alienation, worldbuilding, apocalypse, and esoterica…. This is the game for you!

If my house began to expand in impossible ways and spontaneously grow new hallways and rooms I would simply use it as overflow storage. Sorry Navidson family but I'm just built different

been considering hauntings as negative spaces. an absence that is also a presence, if only you know what you're searching for. which is why ghosts don't just appear to anyone - they're what we fill that space with, which requires us to sense that it's there in the first place.
