Listen "1P 351 - What Lies Beneath"
Episode Synopsis
This week I talk about a gamebook from Fervent Workshop called What Lies Beneath. It was designed by Chris Scaffidi and the art is by Jason Glover, who has also designed quite a few games of his own.
In this gamebook, you wake up in a dungeon with no memory of who you are or what you are here. What's worse is you seem to have some sort of creepy cancerous growth on your arm. You need to get out of here and figure out what is going on. It's an interesting gamebook with some very novel mechanics.
You get to play as one of 6 character classes. If you die, you can take any earnt experience points and apply them to the next character you make. Hopefully, this time you are able to survive long enough to get out of this dungeon.
