What it is about
The final breath of humanity spelled not its doom, but instead breathed life through different lungs. In this altered form, a fusion of flesh, oil, and metal, it carried on. Not quite organic, not quite machine, these dregs crawled within the bowels of The Heap in search of purpose and function. You are one such thing. As a lowly dreg, you have been given life anew, somehow cobbled together from centuries of decay and collapse. What is your purpose? Perhaps you will learn in time.
Carnifeks is a body-horror solo RPG where you dungeon crawl your way through The Heap, towards what you can only assume is the surface of the world. To survive, you will need to cut off the limbs of your foes, graft them to yourself, and use their combined abilities to make it out alive.
Featuring a simple D6 system, four morphologies, 36 enemy/foe types, and 108 limbs to combine and experiment with, this 40 page zine style game is perfect for on-the-go solo role playing.
