Kumonosu D1: Escaping Bansunin

Shadowdark is what an old-school fantasy adventure game would look like after being redesigned with 50 years of innovation. Shadowdark RPG is fast, familiar, intuitive, and deadly. It’s built for sword-and-sorcery adventures where fell monsters slither in darkness and ancient gems glint upon forgotten thrones, waiting to be discovered. In Shadowdark RPG, real time comes into play. A torch only holds back the looming darkness for one hour of actual game time! There isn’t a moment to spare when your only light source is guttering low… Get ready for old-school gaming in a whole new light!

In the recesses of the Shadowdark are ancient ruins of Scarabakki wonders. An ancient race so advanced, they are believed to have discovered the process of obtaining godhood.

They sold the information to archivists & mutagenists who seek the wisdom & knowledge contained within, not to mention the myriad of treasures contained within. Content Advisory: The Scarabakki Synomonet is a puzzle like all ancient wisdom we have to unravel, but what makes it truly terrifying is the use of flesh, light, sound, & scent as a means of unlocking the treasures within. Body horror & mutilation is the outcome of many things in this adventure.
