TABLETOP ROLE-PLAYING GAME
WALKING IN FIRE
Coming Soon from Cinevore Games!
A surrealistic murder mystery RPG, Walking in Fire brings the uncanny valley of cult TV shows like Twin Peaks and True Detective to the gaming table for three to six players.
This narrative-forward game will see players building and investigating a mysterious, isolated town of their own creation haunted by not only a recent murder, but also by The Red Realm, which hosts bizarre supernatural forces lurking right beneath the inhabitants’ noses.
Protect your Aspects, the core tenets your character lives by—or break them and forge new ones as the town changes you—and work together to uncover the truth.
The GM, in the role of the Seer, will guide the players through the mysteries, keeping track of both the Grey Track (unrest among the town’s human inhabitants) and the Red Track (supernatural forces). If either grows too high, the players experience some blowback from their investigations.
