I Am the Fourth Wall

An asymmetrical card game of Lovecraftian horror set in vibrant 1950s suburbia. One player, or an AI deck, controls the Wall, an ancient being seeking to open five gates to a nightmare world. The other players become Investigators—including waitresses, detectives, and street magicians—who work together to close the gates and banish the Wall. The Wall acts between Investigator turns, spending action points to hinder them, summon monsters, and use special abilities. Investigators manage their hands, match symbols to defeat nightmares, and can draw on madness for powerful effects, giving the Wall an advantage in return. Four play modes support solo, cooperative, and competitive games for one to seven players.
