Summary

Survive, rebuild, and reclaim a post-apocalyptic Earth beset by unkillable undead.

Full Description

Unburied is a rules-light horror tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) with both multiplayer and solo journaling options. Play as survivors on a post-apocalyptic Earth ravaged by four types of undead:
Ashes, which are suffocating clouds of dust and cinders
Cadavers, which consist of bones or flesh
Rots, which are putrefaction incarnate
Spirits, which are insubstantial entities that latch onto hosts or anchors

Cooperate with other survivors to achieve player-selected shared goals, and navigate challenges via teamwork, tactics, luck, and the occasional sacrifice.

Solo players may choose between creating a group of characters or creating a single character, and should modify their challenge scaling accordingly. Creating a group is better for examining interpersonal relationships, while playing as a solitary character makes it easier to explore themes of loneliness and grief. Sets of journaling prompts are provided for both options.

Content warnings: violence, death, human remains, body horror, possession.
