Soul Cemetery is a solo horror Tabletop Roleplaying game about how media changes us, how it changes with us as we get older, and how we change media by interacting with it. As you play, you’ll be confronted with prompts to answer, and those answers will change as you continue to play and gain a greater understanding of the game and why you left it behind.
Soul Cemetery is a fake video game–a survival horror game about Detective Hashford returning home to investigate the death of her father only to find something sinister beneath the surface of her childhood town. Super Eyepatch Wolf did an excellent video on fake video games, why people make them, and what their purpose is for those who are curious.
As a physical item, Soul Cemetery is designed as a game booklet, just like the kind that would come with an old PS2 or Gamecube game. It fits inside the game case along with the original soundtrack, which you can listen to here.

As part of Pocketopia, I’m collaborating with Josh Heath and his game “In the Wake of Binding.” What that means is that if you back both of our projects, you get an exclusive sticker! Pocketopia is part of a cross-collaboration effort to get a lot of us smaller indie designers to cross promote with each other, so if you like my horror game, you’ll probably love Josh’s as well!
Shipping will be calculated and collected after the campaign through the Pledge Manager. Shipping within the U.S. will most likely be around five dollars, while anything outside of the U.S. could be anywhere from $15-25 depending on how things go here. I’ve been fulfilling projects since 2020 and no matter how volatile things get, prices have tended to be between $15-25 for shipping outside of the U.S. None of us know how things are going to go with the racist president we have, but I’ll get you your game, don’t worry.
Soul Cemetery is complete. The zine is written, laid out, and the soundtrack is complete. All that’s left to do is order proofs and make sure everything looks good together so I can finalize and print it all. With that said, depending on the printing times, Soul Cemetery will ship in July and August, and I’ll make monthly updates to inform you of what’s going on and share pictures of the proofs.
