Unsafe: First Memory has been fully rebuilt from the inside out.
This new edition refines the system, sharpens the tone, and gives players more emotional and mechanical agency without adding complexity.
New Stat: Instinct
Now a full 0–5 stat that defines emotional reactivity. Choose 2–3 Instinct types that shape how your character acts under pressure.
New System: Volume
Tracks how loud you are to the myth-layer. Starts at 1. At 5, something responds. Ties directly into memory, alignment, and ghost activity.
Dual Emotional Axes:
Lethe ↔ Sparky (Suppression vs Escalation)
Chains ↔ Pulse (Reckoning vs Escape)
Your character always leans. No neutrality. Alignment is calibrated by your answers, not picked from a list.
Rewritten Character Lenses
6 brand new “lenses” (archetypes) like The Vessel, The Keeper, The Interrogator—each with emotional lean, instincts, and narrative skill.
New: Solo Lens Pack
4 haunting lenses for GM + 1 games:
The Doubler, The Observer, The Invited, The Null
Fragments Reworked
Memory fragments now function as emotional triggers, identity breakers, and ghost-beacons—fully narrative, tone-driven, and myth-layer active.
No Gloves On
The emotional tone is raw, stripped, and unfiltered.
This is the version that hurts a little—and stays.
