A narrative-driven game designed by the ENNIE-nominated team LIMINAL ARTIFACT
Dreadnought is a grimdark RPG dredged up from the depths where deep things see without eyes.
And it’s completely free to play.
The Tale of a Living chemical spill
The tsunami washed over Port Rasema, leaving behind death, destruction, and an ancient demon-possessed submersible known as The Black Maw.
Now, the rusted hulk is mutating the survivors, twisting them into mindless husks that feed its bottomless hunger. Everyone will be like them or worse before long.
The heroes must kill The Black Maw or flee before it claims them too.
