Welcome to the KRONOS. The ship's captain is panicking, the pilot in injured, there's a mysterious predatory alien on board, and the ship's cat is missing. Will you be able to rally the crew and escape?

ESCAPE THE KRONOS is a simple single-player card game where you manipulate a hand of 13 cards to evade an alien stalking you through a spaceship. Each card has sets of symbols that direct you to move and turn cards, unlocking different rooms, disasters, and personnel that will help or hinder you as the alien slowly advances closer and closer to the front of your hand.

The 13 base cards currently designed.


ESCAPE THE KRONOS is a play-in-hand game, meaning all you need is the 13 cards in hand! No table, no dice, no tokens, just a hand of cards you turn and shuffle as the game progresses.

The game currently has 2 modes, ESCAPE and HUNT, with more ways to play that could be included in the final product if the game is funded.

20 cards, 4 ways to play, endless possibilities!


I'm bringing ESCAPE THE KRONOS to Backerkit to fund a print run through DriveThruRPG. Backers will be able to get the digital files so they can print and play the game at home, as well as printed cards that will support each game mode. In total there will be 20 cards, single-page rulebooks, and a box to transport your single-player game of sci-fi terror!

Follow along now to be notified when the project goes live!
