A science fiction roleplaying game of exploration, isolation, and survival in a dark and dangerous universe.


Those Dark Places is a rules-light, story-focused roleplaying game about the darker side of space exploration and the people who travel the stars in claustrophobic, dangerous conditions. Starships, stations, and outposts aren't havens of safety with clean, brightly lit corridors--they're potential deathtraps, funded by budget-conscious corporate interests and running on stale, recycled air and water. The stars may be the future of humanity, but they are also home to horrors and terror the human mind cannot comprehend.


Key Points:

Focuses on the human-focused dark science fiction of such media as Aliens series, Dead Space, and The Expanse - what is out there is strange and terrifying, and the player characters must rely on their wits and training rather than on fancy gadgets or equipment.
Simple game system and open setting allows for a variety of game styles
Competitively priced, tightly written, and produced to Osprey's high standards
