As the Sun Forever Sets is a Survival Horror Hexcrawl about interpersonal conflict and survival, inspired by The War of the Worlds. We play a group of ordinary Victorian people embroiled in the chaos of the British Empire, as it collapses under the overwhelming weight of an invasion from Mars. After 15 days, the Martians succumb to the micro-organisms of Earth – long eradicated from the Red Planet. You must survive until then.
The end is all but certain and the day cannot be saved. You’ll live your everyday life until everything falls apart, then struggle to survive the unfolding war until you escape, die, or it all ends, leaving behind a changed world.
Beyond survival, each character has their own goals and motivations. Are you aiming for a way to escape this cursed island? Are you building a shelter to ride out this unwinnable war? Do you have a mission ‒ something so important that it must be completed, regardless of everything? Maybe you're driven to rescue something important, or someone dear? Maybe you're writing a book about all of this. We play to find out what happens.
