An OSR Roleplaying Game Inspired by William Hope Hodgson

"A titanically compelling work... it has a nightmarish power and sincerity unmatched by anything else in the genre." — H.P. Lovecraft, Supernatural Horror in Literature

In the endless dark of a ruined Earth, beneath the last flickering light of the dying sun, humanity clings to life inside the Last Redoubt —a monolithic fortress surrounded by unimaginable horrors. Beyond its walls stretches the Nightland: a lightless, eternal waste haunted by titanic forces, ancient machines, and intelligences that defy all comprehension.

The Nightland is a tabletop roleplaying game of survival horror, built on OSR principles, set in the world envisioned by William Hope Hodgson. It offers brutal exploration, scarce resources, and existential dread. Here, characters are not heroes —they are fragments of will, dream-bound souls clinging to meaning as they venture into a world where death is swift and mercy is extinct.

But this is not only a challenge for your character. It is a challenge for you. Every decision matters. Every step outside the safety of the Redoubt risks annihilation. This is a game where a single misstep leads to erasure, and surviving one more day is an achievement few will earn.

The world is oppressive. The rules are cruel. The night is eternal.
