Description

Our world is but one among many. We exist in a single paper-sharp slice of reality, pressed between the past and future, adjacent to the imaginary and unimaginable, above death and beneath eternity. Each layer of reality exists in relation to all the rest, and the paths we chart between them are often tangled to the point of absurdity. These worlds, the relationships between them, and the paths that wind between, are collectively known as the Disparateum.

As we speak, someone in the Disparateum is wandering the halls of a fractal museum-dungeon. Someone is planning a heist to steal a story from a mechanical dragon. Someone is running through a mirrored world while their reflection silently hunts them. Someone is flying through the streets of a collective dream to catch a bauble that'll grant them their heart's desire. Someone is opening a locked and dusty door in their soul to find something they tried to forget.

It could be you. The Disparateum waits for you to take the stage.

This game is in development! It currently contains Act I of Disparateum, as well as small business, the first of an eventual seven adventure modules included in the zine Seven Plays from the Disparateum. The current plan is for two more Acts, six more adventures, and a number of other supplementary materials, all contributed to by fantastic writers, game designers, and authors in the indie space. All the money this game makes will be going directly towards the goal of putting together that team of contributors and making really cool things with them, and while I've got a pretty good sense of what the other two Acts of the main book are gonna contain, the adventures and supplemental materials are gonna be free range and really, really weird. Can't wait for you to join us on this journey!
