A solo journaling RPG of vintage technology
Ghost Transmission is a solo journaling RPG in which you play as someone dealing with strange signals captured by an old stereo system.
The game features three distinct scenarios, each with its own set of single events, anomalies, dangers, and clues:
- Scenario 1: Inspired by movies such as Trick or Treat (1986) and Paranormal Activity (2007).
- Scenario 2: Inspired by shows such as Dark, Fringe, and Twin Peaks.
- Scenario 3: Inspired by the show The X-Files, and movies such as Cloak and Dagger (1984), Jumpin' Jack Flash (1986), and WarGames (1983).
In short, Ghost Transmission involves addressing prompts as they are drawn, and all you’ll need to play is a deck of cards, two six-sided dice, and something to take notes with.
