The game challenges you to use genuine detective abilities to solve each case. To solve a mystery, you have to interrogate the suspects, question the household staff, examine the crime scene, search for clues around the Walton Mansion, and consult the police reports. You will do all of this while exchanging information with your opponents or hiding it from them, so get ready to use all your gumshoe skills!

WHO killed Mr. Walton?
HOW did the murderer end his life?
WHY did the murderer kill him?
Was there an ACCOMPLICE?

The heart of Awkward Guests is simple: Players have a hand of six cards, and each card has a value (1, 2 or 3 points, according to the amount of information that it provides) and several references (i.e., the subjects of the card information). During a turn, you ask for information about two different references in which you are interested. The rest of the players can offer you cards that contain the requested references, and you can trade for those cards by giving the offering players the same number of points they have offered via cards in your hand.

After each round ends, players can try to solve the mystery. If the mystery is not solved, players discard part of their hands and receive three new cards. The player or players who solve the mystery first win.

In this 1 vs. many game, most of the players will run around the board, searching through houses for useful items and for the kids – Tommy and Lindsey. They can win the game by either causing enough damage to Michael Myers, or by finding Tommy, Lindsey, and a set of car keys so they can escape to safety! Meanwhile, the player controlling Michael Myers will stalk them – and because he is only visible when someone is looking directly at him, he will be an ever-present danger throughout the game. The Myers player can win by killing enough characters, or by preventing the players from escaping for long enough. (If a player’s character is killed, they lose anything they’re carrying but will come on the board with a new character from the movie).

This is a plain-text, black-and-white version of Infærnum, focusing on readability. It features the same content as the hardcover edition, with a softcover and lower MSRP.

Infærnum is a rules-lite RPG focused on apocalyptic themes. Everything starts with a major event: a prophecy that triggers the end of times. Over seven days (in the narrative), players must face all challenges and reach the promised land before the end of all things, facing the four horsemen and other tropes of the Book of Revelation.
Or not. In this highly original game, you define your own vision of the Apocalypse. It can work with any campaign or setting for any system besides the standalone premise presented by the game. That means you can simply use Infaernum on top of your current RPG campaign, whatever system that might be, to explore an end-of-world scenario. It’s essentially your doomsday device and toolbox.
The book also includes a vast collection of optional rules, supplements, and settings that make Infaernum the ultimate doomsday device. You pick and choose what you want to use according to how you want to play at any given moment. It includes modes inspired by popular games and tropes like Shadow of the Colossus, Diablo, Dark Souls, and Cyberpunk 2077, plus alternate ways to play, which include a dungeon crawler element, an enemy generator, ways to use decks of regular playing cards and even a Tarot Arcana, as well a sneak peek into 1,000 years AFTER the end of your world! Mix and match them as you want for the most insane results! This award-winning Role-Playing experience can fit any style or setting for Solo, Co-Op, or Guided play. Not for the faint of heart.
