What Lies Beneath is a solo RPG game where all you need is a pencil, some dice, and to print one page. The whole book will be offered as a physical book and/or PDF and contains over 200 pages of content. What Lies Beneath is coming to Kickstarter on October 16th.

About What Lies Beneath, from BoardGameGeek:
You dream you're in a chapel. Small, high-pitched voices sing an ancient song. Yet a sense of unease washes through you. The core is more macabre. Dream yields to waking confusion. Dust, bones and dried death. A flickering torch. Underground. A crypt.
You catch a wisp of a breeze, heavy with the stench of rot. You gag. Yet a breeze suggests a way out. You take the torch, determined to get out of here alive.
Synopsis
Structured as a branching narrative, What Lies Beneath invites you to direct the plot – but only if you master a unique combination of game mechanisms. Enjoy all the challenges of solo roleplay:
Buffing your character: Gain items that unlock new powers
Classic skill checks: Roll against thresholds to hit enemies
Intellectual puzzles: Manipulate dice using limited actions
Dexterity tests (optional): Flick dice at specified targets
And when (not if) you die, you can spend experience points to boost your next character. Perhaps, this time, you will survive.
