HOLLOWMERE — A Guided Solo Gothic RPG

Eight nights. Locked rooms. A house that remembers you. You are the heir of Hollowmere: an old house filled with faded memories, impossible corridors, and things that should have stayed forgotten. Explore its rooms, protect your dwindling resources, gather keys, and uncover the secrets woven into your inheritance. On the eighth Night, decide what Hollowmere will become — and what it will keep of you. A guided adventure with room for your own story HOLLOWMERE is a solo Gothic roleplaying game with written scenes, clear choices, and dice-driven outcomes. Read a scene, choose a response, roll one six-sided die, and follow the result. Track what changes on your House Sheet. You don’t need to invent an entire adventure from scratch. Keep brief notes as you play, or expand the experience into a longer Gothic journal. No game master, group, or additional rulebook is required. Inside the game • A complete eight-Night adventure with a tutorial, escalation, and finale. • 36 authored random events with choices and written consequences. • Three Callings: Surveyor, Steward, and Archivist. • Candlelight, Nerve, Supplies, Keys, and House Influence to track. • Changing House States that affect your dice tests. • Six recurring mystery Threads. • Three final paths and five endings, with additional epilogues. • Push and Supplies mechanics for difficult decisions. • Replay guidance and an optional Legacy Boon. • Illustrated rules and a worked gameplay example. • Colour and black-and-white House Sheets.
