Description

Inspired by media like Killing EveDeath Note, and The Silence of the Lambs, A Game of Knives is a 2-player roleplaying game about a macabre serial-killer and the detective who's hunting them down. As they pursue each other, a mutual obsession grows, and dark secrets will be revealed...

The game uses a simple rules-set that can be learned in minutes and a standard chess board (either physical or online) to simulate the game of cat-and-mouse between the two participants. A self-contained session will take anywhere from 2-4 hours.
