Who it's for

Groups who want a serious, emotionally demanding cooperative experience rather than an adventure romp.

Not for you if…

You play to relax – the subject matter is grim, the rules are heavy and the age rating of eighteen is earned.

Vibe's take

Bleak, tense and genuinely heavy – the mechanics are demanding, but it is the script book that stays with you afterward.

About this game

A cooperative survival game about civilians trapped in a besieged city, where scarce supplies and a narrative script book force decisions you will not feel good about.
