What it is about
Core Failure is a journaling game that asks you to imagine what happened to the crew of a research vessel that was found unresponsive. You have a damaged data core that was recovered from the ship, and must "decrypt" — i.e., write or imagine — the crew's logs by drawing and interpreting tarot cards. You Need • A tarot or other oracle deck Inspiration • System Shock 2 • Alien Note While a standalone game, Core Failure is related to my derelict map and adventure hook, The Undaunted . If you want to explore the ship from more of a traditional RPG rather than a journaling perspective, check it out. <a href="<a href="https://swanpress.itch.io/the-undaunted">The" class="redactor-linkify-object">https://swanpress.itch.io/the-undaunted">The</a> Undaunted: Derelict Adventure Hook by Swannery Press (R.J.
