You Died

You Died is an immersive solo soulslike TTRPG created for the Caltrop Jam 2 using the Caltrop Core system. It has an estimated playtime of 2-3 hours and can be replayed multiple times. The game is currently in early development and feedback is widely welcomed.

You are an Unearthed, born from tainted soil at the foot of the deceased Giant King Kohln. The putrid Kingdom of Kohlnren lies above you, carved from the giant’s decaying form. It is the fate of all Unearthed to ascend through the body of the Giant King and to claim the Rockskull Crown, taking rule over the Kingdom of Kohlnren, lest they rot into the earth once more. Countless try, few succeed. Shall you become the new Rockskull Monarch?

What you need: A d4 die, a pack of 52 regular playing card, a pencil, a sheet of blank paper, (Optional) some d6’s to keep track of game resources, (Optional) determination.

First you construct your character, choosing which of the primary statistics you wish to level into and gain your crude starting weapon. Then you construct the Kingdom of Kohlnren for your run, randomising the encounters and bosses using a pack of cards.

You must fight your way through three acts, each culminating in a boss. Slay the final boss at the end of Act 3 to win the game!

Content Warnings: Blood, bodily fluids, body horror, body parts, bones, cannibalism, death, decay, eldritch monstrosities, insects, rats, snakes, weapons, violence.
