About the game

What you do in a play session

Ker Nethalas: Into the Midnight Throne is a solo game that drops you into an endless necropolis where every corridor hides secrets and dangers. You take on the role of a character who, after surviving an execution, realizes that the real battle is just beginning. The core mechanic revolves around D100 checks: you roll a hundred-sided die and compare the result to your character’s skill. If the number is equal to or below the skill, the check succeeds; otherwise, the danger escalates. Facing monsters and traps, you must manage resources such as potions, weapons, and health points, while strategically choosing your powers. The game offers an RPG experience where narrative decisions and improvisation intertwine, creating unique stories each playthrough. Despite being a solo game, the sense of exploring dark worlds and delving into dungeons echoes classic dungeon crawlers, but with simple rules that let you jump in quickly. If you enjoy immersive narratives, dice challenges, and a gothic horror atmosphere, Ker Nethalas is an adventure that will test your courage and strategy.
