Lose Yourself To The Hunt in No Mercy For Monsters
A Wretched & Alone game of familial oaths, dark obsessions, and the toxic bond shared between mortal rivals.
You are a woodsman, a member of an ancient order tasked with protecting your village from the great and terrible monsters that stalk through this world. Taken into your training by your parents as a child, you’re the latest in a line of woodsmen spanning back to the dawn of the sect.
But unlike your storied predecessors, you failed.
You lowered your guard, broke your vigilance, and left your mother and father to pay for your mistakes at the cruel hands of a beast. Of The Beast.
You vowed—to your sisters and brothers in the order, to the memory of your parents, to any of the gods willing to listen that you would track The Beast to the edge of the world to see it put to soil. That you would not stop until you had pulled the hateful spark of life from its chest and watched it dim in your hands.
One way or another, the monster will fall...
What is No Mercy For Monsters?
No Mercy For Monsters is a solo GM-less journaling game about revenge, obsession, and the toxic co-dependency shared between rivals. It uses a towerless hack of the Wretched & Alone SRD and only requires writing materials, a deck of standard cards, and two six-sided dice to play.
Themes and Warnings
No Mercy For Monsters delves into dark topics like obsession, self-loathing, guilt, revenge, and death. This is, at its core, a game about hunting or being hunted by a thing that reminds you of the parts of yourself you wish you could destroy. You’ll spend the majority of this game dancing between the desperation to kill the thing and the allure of giving yourself to it fully—neither option is colored from an entirely “healthy” point of view. Specific content found in the provided prompts that you may want to note includes: blood, gore, child injury, animal injury, animal death, murder, isolation, self-hatred, and hallucinations.
