Sunmirror

THIS GAME IS A WIP

Each winter, the town of Rjukan vanishes into shadow, cloaked in perpetual twilight by the long polar night. The Sunmirror project was meant to be salvation; a grand idea to reflect sunlight down from the mountaintops. But something went wrong. Now, only a single mirror remains, flickering to life for but one fleeting hour each day.

But ancient things stir; creatures of the old dark, long dormant, now awakened and hungry. They thrive where the light dares not reach, and their influence creeps ever closer.

Sunmirror is a miniature-agnostic, non-combat tabletop game set in a period of time of your liking. The game was inspired by everything folk horror, cosmic dread and psychological survival, filtered through narrative-driven, tactical encounters.

In Sunmirror, one or more players command a band of desperate Survivors, each with unique strengths and abilities. They scavenge the gloom for precious resources, scramble to repair the dying light sources, and try to hold back the night. The other players become the creeping dread itself, conducting the malicious Creatures of Darkness as they sabotage, stalk and snuff out all who still dare to hope.

Time is not a luxury here. The Survivors must complete their tasks before the light fades for good. Can they rekindle the sun’s blessing? Or will the shadows claim Rjukan forever?
