Monstrosity is a solo space-horror storytelling game where you wake up on a silent ship that’s gone wrong. Systems are failing, corridors are damaged, and you keep finding signs that the crew didn’t leave in one piece. You’re not here to win a fight. You’re here to stay alive, scavenge what you can, and figure out what happened before the ship—or whatever’s in it—finishes the job.
KEY FEATURES
Solo, no GM: The ship, the events, and the pressure come from the tables.
Ship Hexcrawl: Build the map as you go. Every move adds new rooms, corridors, exits, and problems.
Four-Act pacing: Slow dread early, heavy danger late, and a final mission that ends the run.
Fast resolution: Roll 2d10 for risky actions, with clean success, success with a cost, or failure.
Scavenge to survive: Gather Energy, Data, and Resources to power your omni-tool, buy perks, and craft gear.
No fair fights: If you treat the Monstrosity like a normal enemy, you’ll lose. Survival is the point.
