Major Update!

Enter the Survival Horror
A downloadable game

After several months, Enter the Survival Horror returns with a major update! This is a big one that I think significantly changes the game for the better.

  •  GM rebranded to "Director"
  • Conditions added
  • Special Abilities added, selected through Genre Books
  • Instead of ratings on Instincts, characters now start with one Dominant Instinct
  • XP changed to "Luck"
  • New ways to earn Luck * New ways to spend Luck
  • Connections added
  • Worst Impulse added
  • Codified "Intrusions", which gives the Director new ways to fuck with the scene
  • Load changed to "Burden"
  • Multiple burden levels removed, now characters are "Overburdened" at a burden level of 7+
  • Overhaul to Moment of Peace
  • Replace spending XP for +1d to "Push Yourself" like in Blades
  • Assist now costs 1 luck, like in Blades
  • Changed "Fatal" position to "Catastrophic" position
  • Replaced regular plain ol' boring death with "Catastrophe"
  • Numerous examples, clarifications, and extra information

Updated character sheets are still WIP, but the Quickstart has been updated and is currently the best way to play the game.

More to come soon!
