More than 260 pages full of chances to fight nameless horrors...

What is Fear of the Dark?


Fear of the Dark is a solo horror skirmish wargame set in the worlds of madness created by H.P. Lovecraft.


Solo as this game is designed to be played alone, just you trying to make your warband survive another day. Although it could be played with two or even three players in cooperative mode, that is, fighting together against the forces of darkness.


This is not an usual wargame (competitive mode / player vs player) with some solo rules designed ad hoc, this is a solo game.


Horror as the supernatural and the mystery will be the common thread of our scenarios.


Our characters will have to face haunted houses, gangsters, supernatural beings drawn from the worst nightmares, groups of cultists who want to awake forgotten gods, mysterious murders, ancient curses, and dusty books that predict the end of the world as we know it.

Skirmish since the games will be played with just a few miniatures on a table with some scenery, although this game is not attached to any specific brand of miniatures and you can use any that you like. Forget about huge armies and lots and lots of miniatures on the table.


Another strong point of this game relies in its narrative aspect. The focus is on the story since the plot in each scenario will have a great narrative weight, not just fighting without any reason or random encounters of wandering monsters.

The scenarios will have a story that connects everything, all the events that happen will have a reason, and even may never be known by the player until the scenario is over.


The background of this wargame is set in the worlds of madness created by H,P, Lovecraft, where a strange universe of gods and monsters underlies our reality, twisting our world upside down and throwing ourselves into a bottomless pit of madness.


In this game you will play a group of characters during 1920-40 fighting supernatural beings and their acolytes who unconsciously try to wake up the long dormant evil, exploring ancient ruins, hiding from shadows that could devour you, and struggling to live another day.


This is not going to be easy, but it´s going to be fun... that´s for sure.

A really cracking game ,fairly easy to learn you don't need loads of figures and it is not tied into any specific line of miniature so you probably have enough figures to play anyway .
Online support is great with lots of scenarios and stuff and lots of fan support on face book
Just buy it and try it ,you will love it.

This really is a great game.
It's fairly simple rules so easy to pick up and play. Low model count with interesting creatures and opponents although easy to replace with what you already have. Probably more so than other games if that's even possible.

The adventures/missions/scenarios are "sort of" like a "choose your own adventure" until you get to the battles which are tabletop with a good AI and combat rules.

Support from the author is good.
Fan made cards and sheets are freely available on the Facebook page.

It really is a great little game. Set in a cthulhu style 1920's but easy enough to put anywhere.

Hi David,

Is the solo such that it is a “one time through and you’re done” type game or does it have replay value?

Thanks

As it is highly narrative, once you play the story you know what is it about, so it would be like viewing a movie a second time (it may be fun, but not as the first time with plot twists and not knowing what is happening).

In the rulebook you have 4 scenarios, and I'm working on more scenarios that will be available for free to all those who purchased the rulebook.

That said, is it only played with scenarios written by others? E.g. you can’t write your own scenario and have a fun game?

At this moment I'm afraid that only digital version is available.

I hope you like the game!

Looks great! "story that conects everything" Should be "connects". Just trying to help. It's a great write up.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
