Thanks for showing interest! I did get burned out on this project for quite a while, but I'm building up to returning to it. Very far from abandoned, and I also have a discord where you're welcome to come and discuss, workshop, and ask for help/clarification.
Sorry to hear it burned ya out; glad to hear that it's still simmering in the back of your mind. If it's any encouragement, the idea has staying power: I was sitting here wondering, "Hey, where's that Resident Evil RPG I saw on Itch a while back? I wanna pick it up."
But, I can definitely resonate with the weight that bears down on ya when a project looms large, loses its luster, and begins to seem like an obligation. Best o' luck beating the burnout; creative endeavors in the public space are an act of audacity--a bold move than any passersby might comment on (for good or for ill).
This seems like a cool project; I look forward to giving it a read.
Genuinely appreciated! I've got other creative projects, started a podcast, am learning Godot, doing other fun stuff. TTRPG stuff just hasn't felt right in a while. I'll get in that mood again though for sure. Much appreciated the words of encouragement!
I'll be honest and say that the cover art almost made me too scared to open the rest of the game, but I'm glad that I did! Adam's managed to capture the tenseness of games like Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, and Clock Tower on the page, trading in blocky PS2-era graphics and jerky controls for the flexibility of the FiTD system. A perfect game for any time you want to feel spooked!
Just discovered this by way of comments on biggayuniverse's amazing "The Mansion Incident" and as a fellow massive RE (especially classic RE) fan, I was very interested. Is it a traditional (GM+players) game or a solo game, though? Given the price, I didn't want to blind buy and not be able to play it alone! :)
It's a traditional game! It also can work in a 1 x 1 (1 GM & 1 Player) campaign. The system itself is quite flexible in terms of how it can be shifted and changed around to fit your setting/genre.
Thanks so much for the quick reply. The game looks pretty awesome but I'll have to pass for now if it's not solo-playable, but I still might give it a try someday.
Ah, that won't do! I let my community copies run out, sorry!
Please grab one, and if you like the game come back and throw me a couple bucks. It's a core value to me that anyone who is interested in the game should be able to access it!

OOOO This looks so cool! I hope it's still being worked on
Currently taking a break to work on other projects, but it's never far from my mind!
Hello! Is this project still going on? Seems really cool and promising!

That's awesome! All very fun-sounding projects :)
Cool game, BooCherry team!

This game is a real remix of the Forged in the Dark formula, laser-focused on all the best parts of the survival horror genre.
