The frozen ground rises to meet the snow-scarred sky at a point indiscernible, the monotone broken only by pitch masses of secretive trees.

The Road cuts a scalpel scar across the howling wilds, pointing thin, straight, and true to the frozen north, hard earth cemented by thousands of plodding feet over slow centuries. Nothing grows on the desolate path, its edges as clear and stark against the wilderness as black ink on hymnal page.

This is the path you chose, Traveler.

Enter The Bleakness.

An immersive horror TTRPG experience:

The Bleakness provides a uniquely punishing atmospheric horror experience where failure and death are all but certain. Take to an ancient road as pilgrims struggling for survival against the wilderness and the horrors that haunt it. Simple and engaging survival mechanics keep tension high and ensure that danger is always present. 

Heavily inspired by folk horror and the wilds of the PNW, The Bleakness is a great change-of-pace game, with a campaign lasting between 10 and 20 hours on average. 

The Bleakness - Standard Edition Includes:

  • An all-in-one system, setting, and campaign book with everything you need to run and play The Bleakness
  • A brand new stat-less system, simple enough to learn in minutes
  • Simple and engaging survival mechanics

Fascinating Lore

I really hate to leave a less-than-stellar review for a game. I’m doing so to help better inform other potential buyers as there just isn’t much information on this game besides the brief description. The lore is incredibly novel and fascinating, so please buy this book for inspiration if you enjoy the description and want more. I was looking at it as a potential solo-game for traveling in this strange world, and it would take some significant work to accomplish this satisfactorily. Overall, I think this could’ve used some more playtesting and a couple more editing passes. The art was evocative, but didn’t always work for me and included some unexpected nudity several times. I hope the creator continues producing work, and I’ll look into future projects. This one just wasn’t what I’d hoped, especially for the price.
