Always remember: June Egbert is canon

Hello Tumber dot com,

Songbirds is an adventure game inspired by OSR and Storygame traditions that focuses on body horror and haunted shit. You are the canary (adventurer) in the coal mine (dungeon). You go where others won't trying to help spirits find rest, since the god of death is slacking. To play, all you'll need is a d20 and d10, the book has the rest.

These are the systems that have inspired Songbirds understanding of adventure games:

Into the Odd

Apocalypse World

Public Access

Disco Elysium

CY_BORG

Fear & Hunger

Shin Megami Tensei

Blades in the Dark

Red Giant

The setting of Songbirds is a mix of the fantasy in Dune and the science fiction in Tower Dungeon. It has guns, airships, trains, and all different varieties of magics. These are the sci-fi and fantasy worlds that inspired Songbirds.

Dune

Tower Dungeon

Dragon Ball

Breath of the Wild

Hyper Light Drifter

Chainsaw Man

X-Files

Metal Gear Solid

Silent Hill

Go get it over on itch. Like, it's a really great game. Promise. I'm also working on a BIG expansion that will be doing an early-access, itch-funding thing VERY SOON! Featuring 10 new gift/curses and a massive hex crawl through the dream world of Twilight.

500 STABS. 20 MINUTES. DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE?

500 FINGER FILLET is a horror satirical roguelite about being handcuffed to a stabbing machine and having to stab yourself 500 times to escape. Pick from three knives (ignore the "sever chance" stat), gain special rings and items (ignore the curses), and start stabbing to your heart's content! It's not real, after all. It's just a game. You're just playing pretend. What's the worst that could happen?

It's also a game about the eldritch entitygirl who put you there. Her name's Ursa. She wears a bear mask; however, it's unclear whether there's anything resembling a face behind that mask.

And she's very curious what you'll do next...

If you're interested in horror, indie games, or evil women putting their fingers in your mouth, consider checking out 500 FINGER FILLET!

The game has a demo coming out VERY soon, so please wishlist if it interests you!!

this opening is so well edited, the characterization is so sharp. im obsessed.
