~ What Lies Beneath ~
Stock a classic Choose-Your-Own-Path style of book, with innovative modern dice mechanisms
ㅤ
6 copies per carton
Structured as a Choose-Your-Own-Path narrative, What Lies Beneath invites players to direct the plot – but only if they master a unique combination of dice mechanisms.
- Immerse Yourself in 204 Pages of Danger: You awaken in a crypt, your past a haze. Outwit magical adversaries, find a cure for a mysterious disease, and rediscover your identity. Or die trying.
- Do More with Just 6 Dice: While we all love D&D-style stat checks (roll X or higher), you’ll experience so much more. Like flick them. Or roll and manipulate them.
- Learn as You Play: Dive straight into the story without reading pages and pages of rules beforehand. The book introduces all mechanisms as you encounter each for the first time.
- Leave a Mark on the World: Your choices affect the state of the world and can accumulate bad karma to your character — shaping the narrative at key points based on past decisions.
- Play 13 Times or More: That’s the number of different endings — plus dozens of ways to die. You’ll escape the crypt many times before you’ve uncovered your hero’s true backstory and discovered all this magical world has to offer.
