Cthonaut

     An entrance into an unknown Void has been discovered. Your mission is to enter this place and explore it. You will be provided with all the tools you need to explore, stay safe, and return home. All you need to do is document your findings for study and subsequent expeditions.

     There are a few small things to note. You have to explore alone, we cannot station anyone at the entrance to guide you back, and the equipment lock for the provided gear may malfunction to some extent.


The Game

Cthonaut is a single-player tabletop roleplaying game that puts the player in the role of an explorer tasked with charting out the Void, an endless, shifting, alien expanse of pitch-black space. There may be things in the Void, from odd structures whose purpose is unknowable to creatures of indeterminate size and shape, to sounds and voices echoing from sources unseen.

Do you have what it takes to explore the Void successfully and return home without losing your mind or your place?

This is very much my vibe, and I love reading a good solo game.

Quick Q:
Depth and Explored give different DCs for the navigation check to leave the void. Is this a conflict, or am I misreading something.

Thank you for catching that lol, I fixed it! The DC in Depth is correct!

Oh grand, and thanks!

Really fun game, love the theme and the easy to learn style of the rules. Definitely showing it to family and friends.

Thank you! I’m glad you had fun with it!!

Is this inspired by the Monument Mythos?

I love MM, but sadly not on purpose. This is inspired more by liminal spaces, the SCP Foundation, and Iron Lung.

There are a few community copies left, if you wanted to get the game but were unsure about it!

 Concept is very enticing but I hope there's decent preview of this game.

Hello! Thank you for the feedback, I added a couple of pages and the character sheet as previews. Let me know what you think!
