Fancy Books Unlocked 🔐 Join the Final Push!
It’s the final couple of days on Backerkit for SHIVER Classified and we’ve unlocked another stretch goal! Both new SHIVER Classified books will have illustrated endpap...
Well it looks like we've got a bumper crop of recruits for the agency this season! A quick in and out, mission complete and home in time for dinner kind of cohort. 4 hours is quite the pace.
But seriously, thanks so much again from all of us at Parable Games for supporting us once more with another SHIVER launch. We're so happy to be able to keep growing and adding to this utterly bonkers world we've created and are thrilled that you all love playing in it!
For those who haven't joined the fray yet, fear not L.A.N.C.E. is still accepting recruits.
The building of the digital versions of the books is well underway and we are still on track with our timeline. Without much news on the production side of things, we wanted to give you a sneak peek at the finale of our Arctic horror trilogy. The final part of the Lost Ship trilogy, Evolving Hunger, continues our arctic adventure of dimension-collapsing catastrophe. This story was loosely based on a film script that Charlie had been working on, which fit too nicely with the Lost Ship arc to waste.
In a shocking twist, Cornwell Consolidated's unethical science experiment has gone wrong, again. A full dimension breach has occurred and is leaking all sorts of monsters into their secret arctic facility. But there is one more dangerous than all the others, an inter-dimensional apex predator that eats everything. The more it eats, the bigger it gets, evolving at a rapid rate to hunt even bigger prey.
Time to try and close the rift, destroy the incursions and get the hell out of the Arctic Circle!
This story can be played as a direct follow-on from Lost Ship parts 1 & 2. It can also be played as a standalone story. Perhaps your players are some very unfortunate Cornwell Consolidated interns who are about to have a really bad time.
That's all our Classified news for now! If you want to know what is happening in the broader sphere of Parable Games, read on for our new update section.
It's been a busy month for the team at Parable Games! We've got projects ticking along, conventions on the horizon, and have just returned from a trip to the United States. So what have we been up to this month?

Are you going to be at UK Games Expo this year? Come join us for our first ever multi-table epic event!

GAMA 2025
The past month has been dominated by preparations, travel and attending the Game Manufacturers Association (GAMA) show. GAMA is a non-profit trade organization dedicated to serving the hobby games industry and a fantastic link to getting our games over to the USA. We've spent a week, chatting about, demoing, and selling all of the games we publish (as well as catching up with friends), so are pretty worn out! It was a great show though, and we can't wait to go back next year.
SISTERHOOD Launch in under 2 weeks!
We are taking part in Pocketopia this year with Sisterhood, a fast-paced game where good fights evil armed with rosaries and revolvers. In the mid-20th century, a clandestine order of sisters rises to tackle the rebel forces of the apocalypse. Is nuns with guns, punching demons and saving the world your cup of tea? If so go check out the project and give it a follow here:
Man vs Machine (colourised)
Right, we've finally finished our battle with Split Shipping in the pledge manager! A small number of surveys have been sent out today just to check for anything our eagle eyes haven't spotted. By this time tomorrow all emails with surveys will have sent. We'll announce late pledges after that once all existing backers are rocking and/or rolling.
If you don't have an email by the end of this week then please contact us at [email protected] so we can find the gremlins pulling on wires and hit them with a fire extinguisher.
Some of you may have seen our new project Sisterhood appearing around the internet. This multiplayer TTRPG of badass nuns will be releasing mid-March. Take your vows, become a nun and save the world from demons! It's our first new multiplayer game since SHIVER and Charlie, Barney and the gang have cooked up some spice we're sure you'll love.
Happy New Year one and all. We hope you had a lovely time over this festive period with plenty of time to play some games and soak up some delicious holiday movies!
We're just putting the finishing touches onto the SHIVER Classified pledge manager where you'll be able to organise add-ons as well as any shipping and taxes due on your pledges.
We'll also have late pledge available very shortly as well for those who missed the main launch.
We're hoping to have this live by the week starting 3rd Feb, we're just waiting on some tweaks to be put into place on Backerkit's end.
Woohoo 🎉 We did it, SHIVER Classified is fully funded! You all even hustled to get that last stretch goal unlocked!
A huge thanks from Barney, Charlie, Ben & Adam for supporting our little indie publishing endeavours. We couldn’t be making games about the things we love without you.
We’ll be back with Pledge Manager updates in the liminal post Christmas period 🎄
If you want to come celebrate with us we’re at both Dragonmeet (top hall) and MCM Comicon Birmingham (2-X3-4) this weekend so came say hi if you’re attending.
