A modern, occult horror RPG of telepathic dogs.

In 1986, a meltdown in reactor 4 at the Vladimir Ilyich Lenin Nuclear Power Plant in Soviet Ukraine occurred, punching a hole in reality that allowed creatures of darkness and madness to escape into our world.

The tragedy that befell Pripyat, the town built to house the families of the workers at the power plant, is well known. Forced to flee, to abandon their lives, their homes, and even their loyal family dogs. Only those pets that fled to the woods survived the purge of the army, and the flames of the reclamators. You will play as these very good dogs.

Steven R. ★★★★★

The way the game ties psychic mechanics to the radiation exposure mechanic is brilliant—it makes every roll feel genuinely tense. I ran a one-shot last weekend and my group was totally absorbed by the moral dilemmas.

Eva W. ★★★★★

I was immediately hooked by the post-apocalyptic setting in Ukraine, and the rulebook does a great job balancing the horror with the unique canine abilities. The psychic powers for the dogs add a cool strategic layer to investigations. My group had a blast with our first session.

Joseph Q. ★★★★★

The mechanic of playing as telepathic dogs navigating an occult horror world is such a fresh, creative twist on the genre. The way the meltdown is woven into the lore makes the setting feel genuinely eerie and grounded. I've already run two sessions and my group can't stop talking about it.
