A downloadable game

The Silent Road is a Gloomdark tabletop RPG blending dark fantasy, post-apocalyptic survival, and cosmic horror. 

It is set in the decaying world of Pyresh, which draws creation mythos inspiration from sources such as Dark Souls and Bloodborne, while adapting Lovecraftian horror to introduce my own pantheon of Old Gods and practices surrounding them. 

Players play the role of Gloomstalkers, cursed wanderers who navigate the brutal, resource-starved world where every encounter is reminiscent of the danger posed in Darkest Dungeon, along with the grim hope and determination that saturates Berserk. 

Magic is feared and volatile, much like in the book 'The First Law,' while city-states are rife with corruption that echoes the lawless and often dictatorial societies of Kenshi. 

And finally, is made to be as open-ended in its gameplay and mysteries as possible, to encourage player-driven storytelling, where all of the more superfluous actives that take place in a tabletop game are forgone in favor of a scene system which highlights only the parts of the story which the players and GM (called an Augur), may decide collectively are most important for the current storyline they are engaging with.
