(Crowdfund Quest) Black Armada's Advent Adventures

Give the gift of a whimsical, creative, solo journaling game this festive season, all wrapped up in an advent calendar.

Black Armada prove it’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas! Especially when crowdfunding is concerned and you want to make sure your backers have your precious creations in time for the festive season. And even moreso when said precious creation is an Advent Calendar… well, two Advent Calendars on this occasion. And no ordinary little bits of chocolate or festive picture await you behind each of the 25 doors… welcome to Black Armada Advent Adventures Solo Journaling Games!

These are tradition advent calendars but with a gaming twist. Open a new door every day to discover a prompt for a solo journaling game. Carve out a little time each day and write, draw, or record, something in response to the prompt and you’ll have crafted an entire story by the time Christmas Day comes around.

Black Armada have two different advent calendars available - depending on your taste for adventure or horror.

In Advent of Adventure, a dragon invades the North Pole, making its nest atop a pile of undelivered presents. You are the only one of Santa's elves to evade capture. You've got 25 days to save Christmas!
If you prefer things darker, try our folk horror game Advent of Abomination. Your character is spending the Christmas season alone in a remote forest cabin. Well... almost alone.

This Christmas Eve, a Dragon invades the North Pole. Luckily one brave elf evades capture... YOU are Santa’s only hope to save Christmas!

In this family-friendly, cozy tale, use your imagination to create Santa’s workshop, thwart the Dragon’s terrible plans and make a big play to save the day.
Imagine Die Hard or Home Alone, but the main character is an elf!
An awesome, alternative advent calendar for kids, and a wonderful, whimsical solo game for grown-up adventurers.

And if you want it darker…

If you enjoy a good Christmas ghost story or horror tale, try Advent of Abomination.
Your character is spending the Christmas season alone in a remote forest cabin. This spooky, atmospheric game gets you exploring the dark heart of horror in the festive season.
The best gift this Christmas... surviving the nightmare!
