8 itemsAbout the Game
Seventeen years ago, a band of mercenaries took in Mike, orphaned as a baby. Now, on his first mission, things go sideways—and soon, he's caught in a conflict where right and wrong aren’t so clear.
Tackle the problems you encounter as you see fit, or become the problem yourself! Rely on physical prowess, logical thinking, or intuition by rolling dice in true tabletop RPG style! Do what you feel is right — or don't. The choice is yours!
Shape your character with a unique blend of skills that encompass not only physical and mental attributes but also the ability to channel the spirit world. Whether you follow your morals or give in to instincts will shape how you see the world—and how it sees you.
Earn the trust of those you encounter, gain their respect and friendship, or manipulate them with lies and deception. Everyone has a truth—it’s up to you to uncover yours.
Even the smallest decision can change your story. Deal with the consequences and make the most of your situation. The world is your oyster—you decide whether to swallow it whole, chew it, garnish it with lemon juice, or pair it with Champagne mignonette sauce.
