SQUISHY!

throws players into classic survival horror scenarios where death lurks around every corner. The game provides three evocative random tables for generating locations: Mystery Shrouded Towns, Sinister Manors, and Oppressive Underground Tunnels.

Theme and Setting

These tables help GMs quickly establish atmospheric settings dripping with tension and dread. The horror is visceral and immediate—players are meant to feel vulnerable and hunted, with survival as the primary goal rather than heroic triumph.

How Play Feels

The d10 resolution system keeps gameplay fast and lethal. Character creation takes minutes, not hours, with minimal stat tracking and no complex character sheets.

What Makes It Distinct

When danger strikes, players roll d10s against target numbers—failure often means injury or death. You want combat and action to drive most of the session You want a giant long-form campaign engine.

Where It May Not Fit
