The Red Room

Created by Charles Miller using AI-generated imagery, the KIDCO catalogue is a free supplement to the children’s adventures game The End of Innocence. KIDCO recreates the look and tone of 1980s mail-order catalogues and in here you will find new adventure gear, sports equipment, videogames, toys and more.

Today is the Red Room’s anniversary, and we would like to thank everyone who has supported us through four years of publishing niche products no one ever asked for! And to those who tried to cancel us, in true Red Room fashion: fuck off. You did not win, we are still here. A reminder as well: until the end of this month, all Wretched digital titles are 40% off on itch.io.

The updated edition of DARKER (no AI illustrations, new cover by Derek Stevens and a few improvements/ rules clarifications) is now available on paperback at Luludotcom. If you purchase it until next Friday remember to use code EARTHDAY15 for a 15% discount. The proof copy for the hardback version I got from Lulu has an unusually dark background image; the text is still legible but it might be an issue for some readers, so I’ll keep it unlisted for the moment.

DARKER and The End of Innocence are now available from Amazon. It is a funny coincidence that these two became available at the same time. There could not be a more extreme contrast between the brutality of contemporary horror in DARKER and the family-friendly nostalgia of The End of Innocence.

The updated version of The End of Innocence is now available in print on demand from Luludotcom. You can get it in paperback or hardcover format.

April is the Red Room’s anniversary month, and we have a gift for you: a 40 per cent discount on all our Wretched titles on itch.io until the end of the month. Help us celebrate our four years of cancellation and relentless work by spending your hard-earned cash. All titles on sale are also available as a bundle.

The updated version features a new cover by Kyousakee, the interior AI-generated illustrations were replaced with stock art, a few typos and formatting issues were corrected and some new content was added (more lifepath event tables, new gear and monsters). If you purchased in digital format from our former store, itch or Lulu you can download the 1.4 update. It will soon be available in print on demand from Lulu and Amazon.

New release! Solo Red brings official solo play to the Red Room role-playing games. For years, players asked for a way to experience Red and Wretched titles without a group or Game Master. This book answers that request with a complete framework designed specifically for solo sessions, co-authored by Abraham Zetina from Talking About Games. Available on itch and Lulu.
