What it is about
A Crack in the Foundation is a cyberpunk solo writing game. It requires a little bit of creativity and flexibility, and will task you with writing scenes based on prompts created by drawing tarot cards. In this game, you play a character caught between legal employment as a Charybdis Corp drone and your work as one of the nominal heads of “Scylla’s Hounds,” a hacker group notorious for nipping at the heels of the megacorps that loom over the world. You can’t quit. You have bills to pay and mouths to feed, and working for the “revolution” is dangerous. If you get caught, it’s the people around you that will pay. But you can’t allow the world to choke on boot forever. Your conscience won’t allow it. How do you navigate this thin line without being torn apart?
