:Otherscape – A Cyberpunk Mythic TTRPG from the Creators of City of Mist

:Otherscape is an innovative TTRPG that seamlessly blends cyberpunk aesthetics with mythic fantasy elements. Developed by Son of Oak Game Studio, the creators of the acclaimed City of Mist RPG, :Otherscape transports players into a dystopian future where ancient legends resurface amidst advanced technology and societal decay.

In the world of :Otherscape, humanity's relentless technological advancement and the pervasive "Noise" of modern life have led to a profound numbness and apathy. This desensitization has weakened the barriers between the mundane and the mythical, allowing spirits of ancient myths and legends to manifest freely in the physical world. These awakened entities, bound to objects, places, and rituals, now vie for influence and control in a society teetering on the brink.

Building upon the narrative-driven mechanics of City of Mist, :Otherscape introduces a streamlined game engine designed for fast-paced cyberpunk action. Players assume the roles of mercenaries, agents, and survivors undertaking perilous jobs for profit, reputation, or sheer survival. The game employs a sequence of Establish >> Action >> Consequences in each scene, fostering dynamic storytelling and immersive gameplay.


One of the standout features of :Otherscape is its impressive artwork. The game boasts a rich visual aesthetic that captures the stark contrast between high-tech environments and the resurgence of ancient myths. The detailed illustrations and design elements not only enhance the immersive experience but also provide players with a vivid portrayal of the game's unique setting.

For those eager to delve into the world of :Otherscape, a free demo is available for download. This sample includes five pages of quickstart rules, three pre-generated characters—a scavenger, a mystic-detective, and a gun-wielding oni—and a three-page guide for the Master of Ceremonies (MC). Additionally, it features the adventure "The BNZ4I-10 Cybershrine Job," providing a comprehensive introduction to the game's mechanics and narrative style.
