Eldritch Escape: Tokyo is a survival-focused, modern-day roleplaying game that immerses players in a relentless battle against Eldritch monstrosities, challenging them to embrace death repeatedly as a means to grow stronger, all the while offering strategic gameplay with roguelike elements, hauntingly beautiful art, and a grimdark narrative.
An Overview of the Game:
Eldritch Escape: Tokyo is a game set in modern-day Tokyo, where you play as an “ordinary person" hunting a giant monster. There's no heavy firepower, guns, or elite soldiers in Eldritch Escape: Tokyo. The people risking their lives to fight the monsters were, just a little while ago, normal, everyday people. Because of this, the first time you play the game, you'll probably die almost instantly. Even after you get used to it, you'll probably still die a lot.
—But that's okay.
Because in Eldritch Escape, you have a partner who'll revive you each time the monster kills you. You'll be brought back to life, whether you want to come back or not, and sent out to fight the monster once more. And as you keep dying and coming back to life, you'll learn a little more about the monster that killed you, eventually finding its weak points and how to defeat it.
But don't trust your partner too much.
And remember, after coming back to life so many times, there's no guarantee you'll be the same person you were before this all started.
What you'll be getting:
An A5-size hardcover book filled with rules, lore, player & GM aids, and sample scenarios to get you right into the action!
Hauntingly beautiful illustrations from Kohata, one of Japan's most distinctive artists!
A thematic book with full-page art and a gorgeous layout, written by one of Japan's most prominent TTRPG designers!
A 2-player grimdark game based around 1v1 combat and story route-altering roleplaying decisions!
Exclusive content just for Kickstarter backers!
Why back Eldritch Escape: Tokyo?
The first English-Japanese TTRPG simul-release of its kind!
Written by one of the most accomplished TTRPG designers in Japan, Fuyu Takizato, alongside Romero Takarai and the renowned team at Draconian, best known for the hit JTTRPGs Stellar Knights, Revulture, and The Unsung Duet! Fuyu has authored nearly ten commercial TTRPGs published by Japan’s largest entertainment company KADOKAWA (and Arclight), and is one of KADOKAWA’s principal roleplaying game designers!
Beautifully terrifying art from one of Japan’s most distinctive and distinguished illustrators, Kohata! (He illustrates all of his art with only a computer mouse!)
A truly unique take on the genre that is combat-centric with plenty of opportunities for roleplay!
