An RPG for first-time RPG players

Critical: Foundation (Season 1) is constructed like a television series, with each of the nine episodes taking 30 minutes to play. You can take on the role of Gamemaster, who directs the adventure, or play as one of the characters to put yourself in the story. The game provides an RPG-style experience with board game scaffolding via character cards and dice-based combat.

- COOPERATIVE GAMEPLAY: Players work together to experience the story, with 1 player acting as the Game Master.
- ROLE-PLAYING FOR BEGINNERS: Players are free to improvise or read the text on cards to enjoy a cohesive and satisfying story.
- NINE 30-MIN EPISODES: Roleplay in short time commitments or play episodes back-to-back to immerse yourself in the story.
