About the game
What you do in a play session
Imagine this: the lights went out, and civilization crumbled almost instantly. You are a survivor in a post-apocalyptic future where darkness isn't just a lack of light—it's the playground for evil forces determined to keep humanity in the shadows. The good news? Your fledgling society has finally found a way to restore power to the settlement. The bad news? The 'Creep' is closing in, and if it overtakes your home before you finish the job, it's game over for everyone.
Power Creep is the third entry in the Dungeon Pages system, bringing that addictive single-page experience. Using six dice, you step into the shoes of a survivor fighting to rebuild local infrastructure. The gameplay blends the feeling of solving a complex puzzle with heavy tactical decision-making, drawing inspiration from the mechanics of Dangerous Space. You'll spend your time crafting essential items and powering up buildings, which is vital since each activated structure provides long-term special abilities that shift your strategy throughout the game.
It's a pure 'Roll-and-Write' experience: roll, mark, and plan. The core challenge lies in balancing the urgency of restoring power with the need to gear up and survive the dangerous wastelanders. It's the perfect game for those who want a dense yet compact experience where tension ramps up with every roll. If you love the idea of managing resources under extreme pressure while trying to save humanity from an ominous dark threat, this is for you. Grab your pencil, roll the dice, and don't let the darkness win!
