The Necromancer is looking for love and wants to meet someone ""The Old Fashioned Way"" so it's up to you to make sure he finds a human who is willing to go home tonight and preferably one that won't be freaked out by the laboratory's cobweb and body parts forward decoration scheme.

From the game designer, "You and your Skeleton Crew are the minions of the great and powerful Necromancer! Your duty is to fulfill their wishes to the best of your ability, the only problem is Necromancy is forbidden, so you must pretend to be human while out in public spaces."

This game will be good if you like Young Frankenstein, Silliness, Resurrectionists, and bone puns.

You arrive by happenstance, choice, or against your own will at the town of Hobb's End. A festival is in full swing, a rare sight in the Dying Lands. Treats, games, and competitions offered at every corner. There are prizes to the victors, and to the lucky chosen, or the brave volunteers, a chance at something far greater. Claim your prizes, and perhaps you will get to prove your worth to the Gods Beneath the Hill.

This game will be great if you like Morbid humor, dark fantasy, weird fiction, The Witcher, and Gothic horror.

CW- Blood & gore, religious themes, potential animal death, self harm, extremely morbid humor, post apocalypse

The mouse kingdoms survive on the edge of collapse. A harsh winter or heartless cat could spell the end for all. The settled mice huddle together, hidden in their settlements in trees and burrows and walls, scraping and saving. A tenuous existence.

But you are not like those settled mice. By choice or by necessity you are an adventurer.

You live by your luck, your smarts, your bravery. With your friends by your side, you will abandon the warmth and safety of the mouse settlements and venture forth into the dark and dangerous places where other mice do not dare to tread. There is great wealth to be found by those who are willing to take it.

It's a huge and dangerous world out there. It does not look kindly on a small mouse. But if you are very brave and very clever and just a bit lucky, you might be able to survive. And if you survive long enough, you might even become a hero amongst mice."

This game will be great if you like Redwall, The Rescuers, The Hobbit, Over The Hedge, Thumbelina, and style RPGs
