We initially announced that entries for the Red Room Holiday Game Jam would close on December 15th, with winners revealed on January 6th.

To give everyone more time to participate, we’re extending the deadline for submissions to January 6th, and the results will be announced as soon as possible.

Wretched Darkness – Second Edition is getting a makeover! This updated version will feature a revamped layout, new illustrations, and optional rules adapted from DARKER. If you’ve already purchased the first edition from our store, you’ll be able to download the updated version soon. Additionally, the new edition will be available on Lulu at a lower price, as it will be released in a black-and-white format.

Wretched Justice is a new setting for the Wretched Role-Playing Game, set in the violent and corrupt landscape of 1970s Italy and America. Players embody anti-heroes navigating two perilous cities: Cittaferra, a fictional Italian metropolis inspired by poliziotteschi films, and Blackwater, a decaying American city reminiscent of gritty 70s-80s action movies. In these urban jungles plagued by organised crime, political extremism, and police corruption, player characters must choose their path. Will they maintain their moral compass or succumb to the very corruption they fight?

The updated version of Wretched Space is now available in print at Lulu.com. New cover, new layout, and some new content too.
