Game Description

Space is a hell of a thing, but you need to be sure that this is what you want. Like... what you really want. The idea of space exploration to further the frontiers of mankind is noble, but let's not kid ourselves... it is really all about furthering the profit margins. There's money to be made and out there is the place to make it, but you hear all kinds of stories... equipment malfunctions, strange discoveries, crew members going insane... You'll be out there in the reaches, alone, for months, breathing recycled air and drinking recycled water, with nothing but a few feet of metal and shielding between you and certain death.

Are you sure this is what you want?

Those Dark Places is a rules-light, story-focused role-playing game about the darker side of space exploration and the people who travel the stars in claustrophobic, dangerous conditions. Starships, space stations, and outposts aren't havens of safety with clean, brightly lit corridors... they are potential deathtraps, funded by budget-conscious corporate interests and running on stale, recycled air and water. The stars may be the future of humanity, but they are also home to horrors and terror the human mind cannot comprehend.
