Hey adventurers,

Big congratulations to our winners for this month's contest! Entries were judged on creativity, originality, visual presentation, and gameplay, with special attention given to how well each world conveyed ancient entities slumbering beneath reality, forbidden tomes, warped cults, hostile stars, and truths the mind was never meant to grasp. Worlds that were subtle and unsettling, bleak and oppressive, or utterly alien, they made players feel small, uncertain, and afraid of what lies just beyond perception as they play. @friends

1st Place

The Shadow over Olympic Solodit

Love the game, all the art is excellent and follows a clear theme and pattern. Everything is consistent, and I love the trapped cruise liner storyline. The story is unique, which makes playing it a fun experience. I have yet to play a game where the entire story takes place on a boat ravaged by horrors from the abyss. This was definitely to be expected from another one of Solodit/ConsoleX’s games! Well done!

2nd–5th Place Winners

Blackwood Arms Lovereid911.

I love this game, and I think you will too. Be sure to check the lore, I love how so much of it is written out like letters or self written notes. I love how everyone is weird except for Henry Whitlock, which makes him the weirdest one in Blackwood Arms. Definitely give this game a play, it’s a lot of fun to go around and meet the different NPCs, check out their weird rooms, and order pizza from Dominos.

The Sunken Meridian Nihilkether

Sol Invictus was a fun game to try. It felt like a fusion of the last world building contest and the current one. Bjorn was my go to choice when playing because it’s hard to resist playing a paladin with a lion companion named Mufasa. The map was very well done and I love how the districts were oraganized for the city.

Sol Invictus: Shadows of the Golden Age Treedaddy

The art is great and I love the theme! Great game, but while exploring I noticed that monsters spawned during travel almost 100% of the time. Be careful when you play this one, it’s dangerous! The Rholvast is pretty dangerous, but slow, so if you come across one, just remember that you cna run!

Gnossienne: Lovecraftian Survival Horror Onrelas

I enjoyed playing this game because Derrick Quarantasette reminded me a lot of John Wick. I also like the variety of items and equipment available in the game. It was nice to scroll through them all and add some gear to help me when I started my journey. Derrick had been trapped in the city for about a month, so it was fair for me to give him a first aid kit and a few more guns.

Thank you to everyone else who entered!
