About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever thought about a dungeon crawler that swaps dice rolling for a chaotic cube tower? The Stygian Society is exactly that experience. Here, you and your friends take on the role of heroes trying to climb a sinister tower, floor by floor, eliminating hordes of enemies until you reach the final boss. The big twist is that there are no dice; the fate of your actions and the monsters is decided by gravity. When you use your skills, you drop cubes into the tower, and what comes out at the bottom dictates what happens in the game. It is a super tactile and visual system, where each move can be an epic success or a total disaster, depending on which cubes (yours or the enemies') tumble out. The game requires great synergy between players. Since each hero's abilities are unique, knowing when to use your powers is key to preventing the tower from being overrun by monsters. It is a cooperative challenge that demands strategy, a bit of memory to manage the flow of cubes, and, of course, a good dose of nerves when the tower decides it is time for a surprise enemy attack. If you enjoy fantasy games with a tactical edge but want to avoid the usual tropes, this tower is your new playground. It is tense, fun, and each session feels like a physical puzzle you need to solve in real-time. Get ready to climb, fight, and hope the tower is generous to your group!
