Muse

WHAT IS MUSE?

Muse is a solo journaling horror game about an artist haunted by an eldritch muse to create works infused with dark powers. It is a tragic game that chronicles the slow process of your artist being consumed by their muse and the cursed art that they create along the way.

Your artist can be of any discipline: a painter, writer, game designer, or dancer just to name a few, but at the conclusion of the game, they will meet an untimely end.

CONTENT WARNINGS: Isolation, visual and auditory hallucinations, death, eldritch horror

Muse is a game of tragedy and deals with dark themes communicated through journaling prompts as your artist slips further under the control of their muse. As part of this descent, your artist will damage relationships with their close contacts and become more isolated, becoming more vulnerable to the Muse's influence. This journey may not be for everyone, so please approach this game with care.

A GAME TO CROSSOVER WITH OTHER GAMES

When you're done playing Muse, you'll have a list of eldritch artifacts, details of their mystical effects and the stories of the artist who made them and met an untimely end. Take your eldritch items into other TTRPGs you are GMing and let your players discover them and learn the story of your ill\-fated artist.
