A downloadable Demo Kit



Despair Dilemma is a Tabletop Roleplaying Game designed to replicate the stories of Death Game narratives like DanganRonpa, Zero Escape, Squid Game, and more. In these games, people are trapped in a life-or-death scenario and must fight, scavenge, or argue for the sake of their victory and survival. Players take the role of the masterminds and narrative forces pushing the characters to the brink.

Taking control of forces like “The Massacre's Edge” and “The Traitor's Sabotage”, players will vie for control of the story and work to achieve the goals laid out on their Plot Sheet. 

In this Demo Kit, players will take control of the Locke Mansion Death Game, pitting the victims of a strange puzzle master against each other in a decadent mansion of clockwork. It's up to the you and your friends to decide whether these unfortunate few will survive or meet an untimely death at the hands of someone they thought was their ally.

This game is a ton of fun. 

I played as the Traitor's Sabotage using Frank Morello as the traitor and murdered my way to saving Valentina through the story my play-group told. I look forward to added scenarios for this game in the future. Best of luck on the crowdfunding.

Thank you! Excited to see y'all there!

Haven't seen a game that used cards before, huge card and dice fiend so I may be trying this out (probably with some homebrewing for story lol)
