Blurred Lines – Solo Role-Playing Game: Investigate a Serial Killer

Don't become the killer's next cliché...

In Blurred Lines, you're not a super-cop, but a crime scene photographer. Your life takes a turn when you start noticing disturbing details in your shots, clues that the police are ignoring. You decide to conduct your own investigation in an oppressive city, but beware: the closer you get to the truth, the closer the killer gets to you.

The goal of the game? Collect enough clues to identify the murderer before their pursuit gauge fills up and they catch you.

A "Meta" and Tactile Game Mechanic

The game uses everyday objects to create total immersion:

• The City Map: You use a real map (of your city or an imaginary city). This is your playground.

• The Post-it System: This is the game's ingenious idea. You place post-its on the map to represent your photos. As the investigation progresses, you write on these small papers what you "discover" by zooming in on the image: a detail in the background, a silhouette, a forgotten object.

• The Classic Card Deck: No complicated dice here, a simple 54-card deck triggers events. Each suit corresponds to a type of incident (the killer approaches, a familiar face appears, an unforeseen event occurs).

• Attribute Management: Your character relies on three pillars: Reflex, Guts, and Presence. Your success will depend on your tests against the lurking dangers.

Why is Blurred Lines a unique experience?

• Blow-Up Inspiration: If you like Antonioni's film Blow-Up or Dario Argento's thrillers, you'll find that same paranoid and aesthetic atmosphere.

• Narrative Creativity: It's not just a game of rules; it's a tool to write your own detective story. Each game generates a different story based on your interpretations of the photos.

• Solo but Intense: The silence of the solo game reinforces the oppression. You end up looking over your shoulder as you place your post-its.

• Booklet Format: A small 40-page book, easy to carry, that transforms any cafe or office into a crime scene.
