You Died
 |
You Died is an immersive solo soulslike TTRPG created for the Caltrop Jam 2 using the Caltrop Core system. It has an estimated playtime of 2-3 hours and can be replayed multiple times. The game is currently in early development and feedback is widely welcomed.
You are an Unearthed¸ born from tainted soil at the foot of the deceased Giant King Kohln. The putrid Kingdom of Kohlnren lies above you¸ carved from the giant's decaying form. It is the fate of all Unearthed to ascend through the body of the Giant King and to claim the Rockskull Crown¸ taking rule over the Kingdom of Kohlnren¸ lest they rot into the earth once more. Countless try¸ few succeed. Shall you become the new Rockskull Monarch?
What you need: A d4 die¸ a pack of 52 regular playing card¸ a pencil¸ a sheet of blank paper¸ (Optional) some d6's to keep track of game resources¸ (Optional) determination.
First you construct your character¸ choosing which of the primary statistics you wish to level into and gain your crude starting weapon. Then you construct the Kingdom of Kohlnren for your run¸ randomising the encounters and bosses using a pack of cards.
You must fight your way through three acts¸ each culminating in a boss. Slay the final boss at the end of Act 3 to win the game!
Content Warnings: Blood¸ bodily fluids¸ body horror¸ body parts¸ bones¸ cannibalism¸ death¸ decay¸ eldritch monstrosities¸ insects¸ rats¸ snakes¸ weapons¸ violence.
