What it is about

"He’s sitting across from you. He has no face. Just a swirling black on his featureless head. Calming, like the rocking of the sea, or some mother’s arms. A gentle void, this gentleman. And in him, you see all you want to become. Nothing. Immense, ignorant, immaculate, inviting, Nothing. Earnest emptiness. Rest in the reign of chaos. The summer rain inside. Like waves of the sea, of his face. The ultimate death of self. Eternal peace". A deeply atmospheric interactive novel and Solo TTRPG. Carnage on Cape Cod is a Lovecraftian mystery steeped in horror, set in Haddoc- a small, coastal, fictional (or perhaps, forgotten?) town, where something always lurks in the corner of your mind. The choices you make, your character's health, sanity, and dice rolls shape the story and ultimately determine its outcome. Carnage on Cape Cod explores themes of death, poetry, love, struggles with mental health, inner voices, and much more. It does so through memorable characters, vivid storytelling, nightmares, and your direct decisions, all the while the Great War ravages the world. Listen to the Carnage on Cape Cod prologue played by Red Moon Roleplaying! This book is your storyteller. It expands on the classicinteractive formula by adding various TTRPG elements and optional journaling to fully flesh out your investigator. But don't be intimidated by this. If keeping track of your experience points and character customization isn't your cup of tea, you can tailor and scale the experience for your enjoyment by following the same story with fewer rules. If you're looking forward to the crunch, there's plenty of it to gnaw and sharpen your teeth on. You might need them sharp later on. Preview of the pages. Carnage on Cape Cod was my passion project and lifeline for the past two years. It was my escape, my way to deal with my anxiety disorders and personal tragedies. It was good to me, and it was harsh. It's nearly done. We offer you the prologue- the demo, a window into what Carnage will be like once it's complete. It features over 100 entries, and it takes between one and two hours to read. It leaves room for replay, given the different character professions and their exclusive scenes, along with your choices and dice rolls. The complete book will be over 900 entries long, with an average of 450 explored entries per run. It will feature 10 different ending variations, some of which will require a string of specific circumstances and decisions to achieve. It would mean the world to us if you decide to follow the project here on itch, our website , or on our Bluesky pages for further updates ( Writer , Artist ). Thank you, and enjoy the Carnage. No AI-generated content was used in any aspect of the creation of this book. Everything was done by human hand and heart.
