You’re a newly-hired security guard for a local franchise of the mostly defunct Dreddy’s Pizza Palace children’s entertainment chain. You used to come here all the time as a kid. Now as an adult, this place feels wrong... cursed. Ghosts of the past haunt you, the animatronics are stalking you, and reality is breaking around you. Still, you press on - rent is due soon and this is the only job you can get right now. Can you survive your memories of the past brought to life by a dying, haunted arcade?
One Night at Dreddy's is a solo game of economic horror, inspired by Five Nights At Freddy's and Silent Hill. It was written for the Wretched & Alone Jam. To play you'll need a deck of cards, some d6s, and a tumbling tower. It makes changes to conventional Wretched & Alone design so that the gameplay is still focused on journaling and survival horror, but there is a greater focus on hope and there are greater odds of making it out alive.
The COLOR edition comes with stylized background and text colors for aesthetics. The B&W edition sets text in black on white background for easier reading. The PRINTER edition replaces the front and back covers with plain text in black and white to be printer-friendly.
Content Warnings: fear, isolation, suspense, despair, violence, death, nostalgia, bullying, physical harm and/or death of children, body horror, economic hardship, capitalism, hallucination, guilt, and overwhelming obligations.
