Enter The Survival Horror

ADD TO WISHLIST >

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.

Great ruleset, but is the full version still on it’s way? Just bought the game and I’m looking forward to everything promised.

Hey, sorry for the very late reply, I did not receive a notification of your comment.

Keep an eye out in the next few days for the next major update! Version 0.5.4 I sincerely believe is rules complete! Next up of course is completing two adventures, which are in active playtest now.

Thanks very much for the interest!

Core rules have now been updated and migrated to a living document. I think this latest update has made a series of small but important changes that I think measurably improve the game.

Thank you for your support!

Hi Adam.

Is the latest version live to purchase now?

Also, I am wanting to run a Resident Evil one shot for friends. I have Resident Evil 1-Code Veronica in mind, more claustrophobic, less resources, survival horror (over the more action oriented games in the series). Your system will work well for a RE scenario right?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
