The Apocalypse Machine
A post-apocalyptic investigative roleplaying game set after humanity’s destruction by catastrophe and Mythos forces. Players create survivors, investigate the ruins, search for answers, and struggle to find food, water, shelter, and other survivors while confronting supernatural threats. Two modes support different stages of the disaster: Aftershock begins moments after the collapse, with investigators fleeing immediate dangers and seeking safety, while Wasteland takes place years later in a harsher world of frontier settlements, ruined cities, and poisoned farmland. The apocalypse can stem from nuclear war, natural disaster, extraterrestrial events, or the return of ancient powers.
