Into The Void: Tourist Season Never Ends

A new anthology RPG is pulling up alongside you, and you're probably going to want to get in despite your better judgment. The Midnight Void casts one player as a "Travel Guide" - a role that sits somewhere between Rutger Hauer's dead-eyed drifter and Rod Serling's cosmic tour operator - leading their doomed passengers (the other players) through increasingly unsettling scenarios.

This 44-page digest zine introduces a stress system where your dice literally shrink as your chances of survival fade, like watching motorway signs disappear in your rearview mirror. Players can either take one-way trips into the unknown or build collaborative anthologies of their roadside encounters.

First-time kickstarter and game designer Neon Yellow Games (Sha) has already blown past their initial funding goal in just 8 hours. Horror, tentacles and interactive fiction are definitely having a moment and this kickstarter is a great achievement that speaks to both the game's potentially great mechanics and the growing scene around interactive horror. 

Finger licking good!
