MASK OF THE ROSE

Developer/publisher Failbetter Games Format TBA Origin UK Release 2022

The latest game in the universe is also its first: a prequel to and the 2.5-million-word browser game that birthed Failbetter. Set shortly after the capital’s retreat underground, casts you as a lodger in a boarding house where not every neighbour is human. And while previous games have focused on the collection of objects – albeit rather abstract items like souls or secrets – this one is an interpersonal story about adjusting, alongside your flatmates, to a world that’s been suddenly flooded with darkness. Relatable for all of us, then. A Kickstarter campaign is coming in February.
