What is OSR?

Decay embraces the brutal essence of OSR gaming, a return to the visceral roots of role-playing where survival hinges on cunning, courage, and the gut-wrenching fear of the unknown. It’s about embracing the darkness that lurks at the edges of sanity, where every decision is a dance with death itself.

A Tale of Endless Despair

Imagine a landscape scarred by the remnants of civilization, where echoes of past atrocities reverberate through abandoned streets and crumbling structures. As day fades into a haunting twilight, you and your companions stumble upon a realm where reality blurs with the nightmares that haunt it.

Easy to Grasp, Impossible to Forget

Designed for accessibility yet unforgiving in its challenges, Decay keeps its rules straightforward, immersing you in the desperate struggle for survival. Whether you're a seasoned survivor or new to the perils that await, the game thrusts you into a world where every moment is a battle against despair, and every choice

Nightmares Await

Step into the shoes of those who dare to defy fate. Here, the line between hunter and prey fades amid the whispers of forgotten terrors and the stench of death. Can you unravel the mysteries shrouding this forsaken world, or will you become another casualty in its grim chronicles? The choice is yours—but remember, in Decay, survival demands courage, cunning, and a will to endure.

In Decay, you'll step into the shoes of survivors thrust into harrowing and terrifying situations from which escape may seem impossible. Your choices will wield immense influence over the game world—deciding not only your fate but the fate of those around you. Every decision carries weight, and a single misstep could lead to your untimely demise.

Growth

Your characters will evolve through harrowing experiences. As they navigate the relentless horrors, they will grow stronger and more resilient, which is crucial for survival and overcoming the dangers they face. Adaptability and ingenuity will be your greatest allies in this unforgiving landscape.

Classless

Free from the constraints of traditional classes, Decay features a classless system where traits shape your character's destiny. At the outset, each survivor selects two traits from a diverse list provided during character creation. These traits act as specialized abilities, offering unique advantages to navigate the dangers ahead. Your choices will define your character's strengths and enhance their ability to face the challenges that lie ahead.

Prepare to confront the abyss that awaits. Your resilience, wit, and the alliances you forge will determine whether you emerge triumphant or succumb to the darkness that threatens to consume all.
