Description
Menagerie of the Void is a sci-fi/horror storytelling game for one player, about trying to stop the bewildering deterioration of an ancient collection of weird alien beings.
This one scratches a bunch of our favorite itches!
✅ Solo
✅ Speculative Biology
✅ Sick illustrations of speculative creatures
✅ Sad and weird (complimentary)
Fight entropy as the keeper of an otherwise abandoned intergalactic zoo. Explore the grounds and get a sense of what lives here. Build habitats for new exhibits. (Wait, new exhibits are still being delivered? Why? How?) Loneliness weighs on you, but your work is never done. (Something is amiss! Someone is sick! Something is leaking!) Can you mend what’s broken before another exhibit arrives? (Yes! These creatures rely on you! But you have so much to do. And you’re so tired. Gee, it’s almost like you’re imprisoned here, too. Oh wait. You are. Guess the zookeeper is just another exhibit. Dang, that’s depressing. Maybe you should lay down…)
Oh yeah – remember how much we love a thematic soundtrack? Wouldn’t you know it, this game’s got one and Jen listened while she was writing this. (It’s sad and weird.)
“A new zookeeper has been acquired.”
This is the story of how you were compelled to try and eventually failed, as many have before you.
