The dice degradation mechanic is incredible. Having the same target number with every roll, which initially feels trivial to clear up until you're desperately trying to do anything at all is some palpable tension. I love that this comes with several interesting sample settings in multiple genres, highlighting just how adaptable this system is. I've always appreciated concise, simple gameplay, and 4: The Survival Tabletop Roleplaying Game uses this to haunting effect. Excellent work!

Thank you so much! We are really proud of the dice degradation idea and as GMs, we fell in love with the idea of intertwining the dice rolls with the game narrative, explaining each success and failure in a way that keeps the story driving forward but also increases the danger levels with each roll.
Your praise means a lot, we really appreciate your kind words as we tried really hard to create an atmosphere with 4 yet also keep the game simple and 'pick-up-able'. I hope you have fun with it :)
Thanks again.
