About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a cooperative adventure in Severton, a game that transports you to the magical and mysterious atmosphere of Old Prague in the 1930s! Inspired by a famous Czech book series, you and your friends take on the roles of a group of boys and girls venturing into the shadowy neighborhood of Severton. This area is dominated by ruthless gangs known as the Vonts, and uncovering their secrets is your mission.

Each game session presents a new story with unique challenges awaiting you. You'll need plenty of strategy and teamwork to progress. The key is cleverness: observe the Vont patrols' movements, use the environment to sneak around, and avoid direct confrontations. If talking your way out of trouble works, great! If not, perhaps a bit more assertiveness will be needed to escape tricky situations. The game promises an immersive experience where collaboration is essential to overcome dangers and unravel Severton's mysteries. It's a chance to relive the excitement of classic adventures, with a hint of suspense and plenty of camaraderie. Perfect for those who enjoy games with a strong narrative and a challenge that demands group unity.
