Little Animals on a Big Adventure
A downloadable game
A small TTRPG system for xenofiction type stories, similar to Watership Down or Secret of Nimh. Inspired by Call of Cthulhu 7E, this sees players investigating a different kind of cosmic horror, humans.
In addition to the rules is "Grace of the Blessed" an adventure that takes roughly four to six hours to play, and is meant for a GM and 2-6 players. While the final act, Act 3, is still in development, it currently is approximately 10,000 words and 20 pages of adventure module, a cosmic horror piece from the eyes of small critters, involving themes of animal testing, strange capitalism, and depersonalization.

This is Great! I will try to solo it at some point of I can!
I was thinking of making a solo adventure at some point. The issue is that it would take a lot more writing. However, that is a planned expansion once I have acts 2 and 3 written. Right now, you can do it solo if don't mind the spoilers. If you do, I'd suggest playing as 2 or 3 characters at a time.
Beautiful art and such a fun idea! Can't wait to play!
Thanks! I do hope to get a chance to run it for the jam.
