New Kickstarter - Pilot Episode!

Hi there!  

Thank you so much for your support of my work as a game designer. It means more to me than I can ever say.

The Ruins was one of my first forays into a weird, almost dreamlike experience. I'm a big fan of the surreal and using non-traditional mechanics in games. It was this that drew me to Marn S.' Time To Drop and re-reading The Ruins now, I can also see some of the DNA of my current Kickstarter, with the use of sound in the worldbuilding and some of the more horrifying elements. I wholeheartedly believe that if you're a horror fan who enjoyed The Ruins, you'd really like what I'm working on now.

If you can, I’d be so grateful if you took a moment to check out my next Kickstarter, Pilot Episode. It’s a gmless horror game that hacks Time To Drop to create a wholly new experience! You play the cast of a sitcom who finds themselves trapped in the twisted and ever-resetting world of the sitcom. As they try to escape by creating the perfect sitcom episode, they find themselves contending with the whims of the Live Studio Audience, a mysterious and eldritch force whose laughter echoes throughout the world…  

We’re currently fundraising for a print run and a custom soundtrack. This soundtrack is one of the central mechanics of the game, as it is used to indicate to the players when one episode loop ends and another begins. The first five minutes of this soundtrack is available to listen to on the Kickstarter page. This game draws from my love of film and ttrpgs, so a lot of in-depth research went into recreating the specific themes, tropes and tone of the sitcom with a horror twist!  

You can check out Pilot Episode here. There’s only four more days remaining so be sure to back before it’s gone!
