Dates and product details are subject to change as new information from the manufacturer is updated. In Dreams is a slightly surreal storytelling game for one, which uses vivid imagery and evocative prompts to immerse you in a dreamworld you wouldn’t have otherwise imagined. In this storytelling solo game, the player writes a story in which a character in a dreamworld must complete a specific goal before waking. The player begins by drawing cards to create a randomized character with a starting temperament. Card draws will also determine the goal the character must achieve by the dream's end in order for the player to win. Storytelling then begins by drawings cards to create an Encounter. An Encounter consists of 2-4 short prompts as well as a location. All Encounter cards include surreal artwork to help inspire fresh and creative interpretations each game. The player must immediately write about the generated Encounter, including all of the prompts and the location while attempting to move the character closer to their goal. Some Encounters will prompt the player to generate an Event. Two cards from the Event deck will determine what is happening as well as the tone. These cards too include surreal artwork for inspiration. Events are resolved in the same manner as Encounters. The game continues, with the player drawing and resolving Encounters and Events through storytelling until the character's goal is met.

Black Mold (Pre-Order)
This item is a pre-order item with an expected release date of Q2 2024 Orders containing a pre-order item WILL NOT SHIP until the final pre-order item is able to be shipped. Dates and product details are subject to change as new information from the manufacturer is updated. You awake, disoriented, foggy. You are alone…silence. You shamble through shadowy corridors webbed with mycelium growths slithering towards you. Opaque blackened clouds of haunting fog loom in a cramped tunnel teeming with unnatural fungal forms beckoning you to come closer. Ghostly black figures dart through the effluvium spurring paranoid thoughts as your inner voice asks “is someone there or am I losing my mind?” You begin to feel weak, your psyche slips, your dread mounts. Your survival instinct suddenly kicks in and you realize that if you're here much longer, you may never leave. Can you escape the Black Mold? In Black Mold you are an escaped prisoner trying to find your way out of an abandoned subterranean prison compound. Black undulating fungal growths coat every surface of these corridors, emitting ghostly clouds that poison the air. To avoid breathing the harmful, hallucinogenic mist, you must limit your exposure and make your escape. This is simulated in the game by limiting the length of your turn to how long you're able to physically hold your breath. A tense, "co-op till it's not" survival horror escape. Work together or don't, there are many ways to explore, survive, interact and escape. With rasping fungal thralls lurking in the darkness, the other prisoners...? You can trust them...until they die and become changed. A monochromatic nightmare that never scares you the same way twice. With 70 areas to reveal and survive, numerous items to find and craft, 6 unique prisoners to play and multiple win conditions every harrowing escape is different than the last. Deep thematic immersion through thoughtful, intense mechanisms. Whether quickly forming "Neural paths" to expand the compound, mitigating your asymmetric prisoner vitality track, or chucking dice to search for that essential item you need so you can craft the torch, BLACK MOLD will challenge your body and your mind while clinging to its bleak survival horror aesthetic. A Game you play to play more than you play to win. Whether bolting for the exit alone, working together as a tight-knit team, or perishing in the fungal fog and returning to kill everyone as a Fungal Thrall - each game of Black Mold is an unfolding story that creates tense, fun, and harrowing moments that will stay with you, win or lose.
