Legends speak of the Dead Keep. Travelers and locals alike spin tales of this accursed locale 'round hearths every evenings. Public houses are always filled with whispers and rumours about what lies within. And yet, you'll probably never meet a single soul who has seen the Keep and returned. The many faded names carved into the table you are at is the only reminder of those who dared venture into the Keep. But you? You might be different.
Embark on an adventure with The Dead Keep, a cooperative dungeon diving campaign game designed for 1-6 players. Immerse yourself in the fantastical artwork, crafted from the original designs of renowned artist Paul Bonner. As fearless adventurers, you'll plunge into the depths of The Dead Keep, driven by the promise of untold riches from the enigmatic Patron. Will you unravel the secrets lurking within, or will the mist claim you?
- Really well done
- Felt more distinctive than other similar games
- Potential to be a five out of five
- Good job with what they were trying to do
- Endgame boss fight felt not polished enough
- Could have leaned more into Cthulhu: Death May Die for the boss fight
- Cross between Massive Darkness, Zombicide, and Cthulhu: Death May Die
- Massive Darkness
- Zombicide
- Cthulhu: Death May Die
- DC Super Heroes United
- Deceased
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Cthulhu: Death May Die influence — Elements of the endgame and boss fights are reminiscent of this system.
- miniatures — Implied by the comparison to other CMON miniature-heavy games.
- Zombicide System (based) — Built on the Zombicide system but with distinct elements.
