Funding in seven minutes, the new edition, titled Coriolis: The Great Dark, promises a fresh take on the dark, deep journeys one takes in outer space.
Gods, colony ships, and more await within. Let’s take a look.
Coriolis: The Great Dark – Kickstarted in 7 Minutes!
Coriolis: The Great Dark is an RPG about exploration and hope in a dark, distant reach of space. As the description of the game reads: “The portals are dead. Ship City is dying. But there is still hope.”
These words set the tone for Free League’s new edition of Coriolis. In it, you’ll play an explorer who sets out into the Great Dark, a region of space filled with enigmatic ruins and dangers the likes of which few are willing to risk. But risk it you will, for though there is a cataclysmic Blight issuing from these ruins, within their corrupt and mysterious depth, they may hold the keys to your future’s salvation.
Coriolis: The Great Dark, is a brand-new science fiction roleplaying game about exploration, mysteries, and intrigue at the far edge of space. Venture out into the unknown on mighty Greatships, delve deep into ancient ruins and partake in the Byzantine schemes of powerful guilds.
Inspired by 19th century polar expeditions, deep sea diving and pulp archeology, Coriolis: The Great Darkoffers a new take on sci-fi roleplaying that emphasizes mystery, a sense of wonder and breathtaking visuals.
You’ll be playing as explorers in forgotten star systems, where a fledgling human civilization escaped to the “frontier” of deep space. Of course, out there are long-lost ruins, ancient space gods, and more. As the Kickstarter describes the exploration part of the game, you’re searching for a way to save your home, Ship City:
In Coriolis: The Great Dark, you and a crew of fellow explorers will set out on expeditions and delve into ruins of the Lost Horizon. You all have your separate backgrounds and homes in the meandering asteroid-metropolis of Ship City. You are employed by the Explorers Guild to undertake dangerous missions into ruins on desolate moons or take part in expeditions to other star systems in search of resources and artifacts.
Delving into the ruins will bring out the best of you and your crew. You’ll need to overcome physical obstacles, creatures from the Dark, as well as endure the ubiquitous Blight.
