Nepenthe

By Bruce Glassco
Players: 13
Genre: SF/time travel
Players
find themselves in a gothic church at a baby’s funeral. Secrets become revealed
about the player’s past and blood revenge is demanded by many for atrocities
long thought forgotten. Players find themselves with the consequences of slowly
losing their sanity as the supernatural confronts and reveals the evil that
lurks among them.
Nepenthe
is loosely based off tales from Edgar Allen Poe with a concentration on topics
of the macabre and horror. Character deaths are very likely, but there is a
mechanic that allows the player to continue to participate in the game even if
they are killed.
CAUTION
LABEL: Nepenthe is a mature game with extremely mature content. Players must be
18 years old. The game deals with very mature and possibly disturbing issues
and is not advised for anyone who is currently taking medication for depression
or is easily offended or bothered by what could be considered very disturbing
topics. Although having a slightly pulpy Tales of the Crypt genre theme, the game
is DARK, MACABRE and many plot lines have the potential to make people
uncomfortable. Topics include but are not limited to: necrophilia, rape,
murder, cannibalism, emotional and physical abuse, alcoholism and forms of
sadism. Please do not sign up for this game unless you are 100% ok with playing
this kind of game.
Cost: free
