Foretold: In Its Shadow
A downloadable game
Foretold is a way of playing narrative story games driven by a series of prompts; following in the footsteps of games like For The Queen, Women Are Werewolves and In a Wicked Age, the prompts for the story are determined by drawing cards from a deck. You can use any ordinary deck of playing cards with a Foretold game, with the only additional materials needed being these rules to guide you through the game-play. Foretold typically works best with 3-5 players.
This iteration of Foretold is a dark tale of Hunters tracking down the supernatural Beast who has dragged its long shadow across the land, bringing darkness in its wake. Taking inspiration from Dracula, this is a tale in which the Hunters have a personal reason for pursuing their prey and all bear the shadow of the Beast themselves.

Played this for the first time tonight, with four players. Huge amount of fun! The prompts are thoughtful and well-designed. Can't wait to see more Foretold games!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I'm very happy with the way the Foretold games have been received, enough to almost tempt me to write more than the original four I had planned.
