ONISM

“In the beginning, a being awakened, 

in a macabre triumph of ashes and vomits.

It was skin, flesh and mind, born of the Immense and bringer of doubt.

At the dawn of time it was conscious, in a whirlwind of thoughts 

that kept it in limbo. 

May the Nameless have mercy as I recite its name.

Vralthis, matter that mutates into flames.”

- Awakened’s Scriptures, 1:2

The once great cities of Humanity lie in ruins. Madness reigns supreme, 

History itself has been rewritten, and distorted.

ABOUT ONISM

ONISM is a lovecraftian ttrpg that takes place in an unsettling and surreal Earth, a land where its inhabitants are nothing more than forlorn philosophers, disturbingly aware of the catastrophic collapse of the collective human psyche.

THE STORY

In a desolate world ravaged by endless disease, famine, and war, the remnants of humanity unite under a single government. Seeking refuge within colossal Citadels, they struggle against the weight of eldritch knowledge, teetering on the brink of madness. 

With the advent of the foretold cataclysm, a tempest of unspeakable proportions known as the Collapse, reality itself has unraveled, leaving naught but a shifting, discordant wasteland in its wake. 

Now, only few remain, drawing labored breaths deep within the stygian depths of the Citadels' underground bowels. These wretched survivors cower from the wrath of the abominations wrought by man, their eerie presence hangs heavy, lurking amidst the darkness of the Black Earth.

THE ATMOSPHERE

ONISM's goal is to draw upon the immersive landscapes of acclaimed titles like S.T.A.L.K.E.R, Metro and Darkwood, channeling their essence into a disturbing and oppressive experience.

Explore the labyrinthine depths of claustrophobic industrial underground regions as you strive to fulfill your harrowing missions and secure your livelihood amidst the encroaching darkness, sounding out safe ways and establishing fortified outposts.

Unwind with your comrades as you gather around a crackling campfire, savoring the warmth while sipping on vodka and sharing meager rations of canned food.
