A one-page "superlite" solo microRPG that replicates the kind of horror movie where an ensemble cast of skilled but flawed people are trapped in a dark place with a terrifying threat waiting to snatch them at any moment. There’s plenty of intrigue, dark secrets, and broken relationships to keep things interesting. It’s fast, cyclic, and incredibly lethal; your pool of actors essentially serves as hit points. So don’t get too attached!
