You Are Dead: The Narrative Roleplaying Game in the Dark Souls Universe

What if death wasn't "Game Over," but the beginning of the story?

You Are Dead is an independent role-playing game that takes a different approach to classic heroic adventures. Here, the great tragedy has already occurred: your characters are deceased. They awaken in a dreamlike, misty world, the Limbo, with only one obsession: to retrieve their fragmented memories to understand what holds them there and, perhaps, find eternal rest.

The concept? It's a shared narrative game. Players don't roll dice to kill monsters, but to explore scenes from their past and confront their regrets. It's a powerful introspective experience, often played without a traditional game master or with a very discreet guide.

Why You Are Dead is a unique RPG experience:

• A Memory Mechanic: The core of the game is based on reconstructing your identity. Each explored scene unlocks a fragment of life, creating a moving and highly personal narrative.

• The Aesthetics of Desolation: Heavily inspired by melancholic "Dark Fantasy," the game offers a unique visual and auditory atmosphere. It speaks of ashes, flickering candles, and whispers in the dark.

• Simplicity and Emotion: The rules are minimalist to allow full scope for interpretation. It's a game that appeals to the heart more than to combat statistics.

• Ideal for Short Sessions: Designed for "One-Shot" formats, it allows for a complete and poignant story to be experienced in a single evening (2 to 3 hours).
