About the game

What you do in a play session

Veilrift is an intense cooperative experience that plunges players into the mysterious world of O.D.I.N., a secret organization that officially doesn't exist. If you enjoy adventure games with a touch of horror and exploration, this title will hook you. The premise is clear: dimensional rifts are opening, and the global threat is rising. You and your group must travel across a strategic map, moving from Wales to Tromsø while managing resources and fighting horrors in tactical dungeons. The game uses a 'rift clock' system that dictates the pace; every turn, the tension rises, and if the threat track hits the limit, it's game over for everyone. The tactical side is where it gets real: when a rift opens, the game shifts to a square grid combat, where each room reveals enemies and challenges based on luck and strategy. To close these rifts, you need to roll knowledge dice, balancing attributes and special skills. The dice system is interesting: white dice come from attributes, while colored dice come from your skills, each with different success probabilities. Supporting 1 to 6 players (with the solo mode requiring you to control two agents), Veilrift offers a challenging difficulty curve. The best part? It's a free Print & Play project, meaning you can download, print, and start playing right away, or even test the version available via browser. It's the kind of game that rewards planning and cooperation, requiring the group to make tough decisions about where to invest time and resources before the Demon behind the final rift puts an end to the mission. If you're looking for an immersive, tense experience with high replayability, Veilrift is an excellent choice for those who don't mind assembling their own game components.
