Description

Summer, When thou leave
I prithee latch the door tight
For Fall hosts Strange Guests
One classmate is missing.
Another barely escaped with their life.

And whatever did it is only just getting started.
No one is coming to save you or your classmates.
Survive the school year by figuring out what’s happening before the next victim is YOU.


Sinister Semester X is a a solo journaling horror RPG where you investigate a mystery, decipher clues, and struggle to survive whatever is killing your fellow classmates. Will you work to save yourself, help other students in trouble, or work to convince the adults of what is really happening? The choice lies with you!

This game builds on the system created by RogueCentaur for Celebrity Rat Race and draws inspiration from games like Corpse Party, Haunting Ground, and White Day: A Labyrinth Named School
  • BACK TO CLASS: Create your High Schooler with 6 distinct Archetypes.
  • THE NIGHTMARE IS YOURS: Use the clues to determine what the true horror might be.
  • FRIGHTFUL FINALES: Will you reach one of the multiple endings before you meet a grisly fate? 
  • MINIMAL SUPPLIES: All you need is paper, a pencil, six-sided dice, and something for keeping time to play.
A malefic shadow looms over your school -
Your inimical education begins now..
