What is Timoris?
Timoris is a unique tabletop game inspired by classic horror such as Poe, Lovecraft, and Chambers. The game uses simple playing cards and dice to take players on a deadly journey through the dimension of fear. Born from frustrations with typical tabletop games, Timoris is designed to be both challenging and fun; however, the main goal was to make a game that anyone can learn how to play with zero TTRPG experience.
The gamebooks
Gameplay in Timoris revolves around three books: Book of Stories, Book of Shadows, and Book of Encounters. The instructions and actual gameplay itself are both contained within the Book of Stories. The two other books holding all the information about the multitude of items and NPC encounters found throughout the game.
Artwork & writing
All of the art for the game, as well as all three gamebooks, are created by Ashlyn Van Buyten as a passion project whilst studying at university. Because of this, development on the game may slow down during periods were academia takes priority.
