  • This game provides a broad swath of possible narratives, depending on player choice, so a comprehensive list of possible triggers is difficult. However, the game is extremely likely to contain: mutations, body horror, insect horror, graphic violence, and organs/bodily components in places they are not normally meant to be.

Description:

Two travelers on a journey through an accursed Zone. Four environments, each more terrible than the last. The same images, again and again, taking on new meaning each time.

Zone of Aesthetic is a cosmic horror/weird horror hack of Legend of Aesthetic by Jackson Tegu. Each round, players will draw two cards apiece from a deck of one-word prompts and select one of those two prompts to narrate into the story. Chosen prompts are shuffled back into the deck; the rest are discarded. This way, over the course of play, patterns and motifs will appear, giving us a sense of some cosmic horror narrative we will never fully understand.

The play experience is focused on imagining evocative aesthetics — together developing a string of visual and sensual tableaus that will scare yourself and your fellow players. What do we see? What do we see next? What do we see again?

A cavern with pulsing veins running down the walls.
A hospital with strange eggs in strange places.
A lighthouse with a single keeper, always the same distance away.
A nightclub where a silver queen sometimes flashes visible on a silver throne.

This is a complete game, but it has not yet been released. Play it while you can.
