Apophenia is a Co-op Survival Horror Puzzle & Deduction card game for 1-4 players.
The players assume the roles of Hunters who are tasked to explore an area linked to supernatural phenomena. In that area lurks a sinister being of unknown identity. It is the Hunters' job to unveil the wicked and vanquish them once and for all.
The game features 8 different Horror enemies such as the Werewolf and the Ghoul and an ever-changing board to explore.
Wield a variety of tools, from salt and garlic to guns and silver daggers to face the Horrors or die trying.
Hunters win together or fall together but be wary of who you trust! Through the course of the game, some Horrors may corrupt a hunter and turn them into a horror side player. These players become traitors who secretly sabotage and defeat the Hunters on behalf of the Horror. As the game goes on, they are may be unveiled as Demon-possessed or as Werewolves themselves!
Do you have what it takes to tread through the darkness?
