Shadow in the Stars: Blasting off this summer
Become a starfighter pilot on a solo mission of destruction and self discovery
Face unrelenting danger in a battle for survival in Shadow in the Stars, a rogue-like solo rpg featuring starship combat, tough choices, journaling, wild discoveries, and a high score board. It's now in the pre-launch phase on Kickstarter, launching this summer.
Your mission is simple: destroy the enemy home world using the most advanced weapon in the galaxy. But you have no memories and your mind is linked to the starfighter. You must push forward through intense stress to regain yourself. Beside the physical danger, the more stressed you become, the greater the risk severing the link and having a total cognitive collapse. Can you discover who you are before you're destroyed?
Featuring:
- A rogue-like experience: The odds are stacked against you and you likely won't make it your first time through, but with a quick replayability and rewarding gameplay it'll drive you to try again.
- A d6 dice system with a Stress based push your luck mechanic.
- Intense battles with other starships and bizarre enemies.
- Journaling in the form of mission logs. As you play you regain memories and come to stunning revelations. You can sort out the truth, lies, and hallucinations to tell the story of your starfighter pilot.
- A sector map where you can pick up helpful drones or run into a deadly encounter with the the nemesis starfighter.
- Earn points as you play. Get to the top of your own leaderboard or submit your score to Table Cat Games to see if you can be the top pilot of all time.
Inspired by Atari video games and box art, Shadow in the Stars is a tabletop experience that's a love letter to vintage video games.
Shadow in the Stars will be 95% complete when the Kickstarter launches. The book is in layout now, then it'll get more testing/refinement, and be as close to a ready state as possible for the Kickstarter to allow us to focus on adding any stretch goals and fulfilling it quickly after a successful campaign conclusion.
From Ennie nominated publisher Table Cat Games, creator of Street Wolves and Monster Truckers: Long Haul into the Worstlands, comes Shadow in the Stars. You can learn more about Table Cat Games at their website.
