Brain Exploder

This book is part of a collection called Manifestus Omnivorous: 1. All books are adventures. 2. The adventures must be system-agnostic. 3. The adventures must take place on Earth. 4. The adventures can only have one location. 5. The adventures can only have one monster. 6. The adventures must include saprophagy or osteophagy. 7. The adventures must include a voracious eater. 8. The adventures must have less than 6,666 words. 9. The adventures can only be in two colours. The lost rule: 10. The adventures cannot have good taste. Inspired by the likes of Twin Peaks and The Autopsy from Del Toro's Cabinet, Ema's interpretation of the Manifestus Omnivorous will speak to fans of small-town mystery and surrealism. The LOCATION is a regular town tucked away in an irrelevant part, where the characters, all working for the Sanitation Department for Classified Pets, have been sent to in order to end a possible alien infestation. The MONSTER is an Exocerebral Host which latches onto its victims, and can only survive by ingesting BONES or feeding on large orders of DECOMPOSING MATTER. But the Monster isn't the only bit the agents will have to deal with: every local has their own dark secrets, which they wish to keep buried. Who is Ema Acosta? Ema Acosta is a writer and illustrator based in Portugal, best known for her narrative games Crescent Moon and Exiles. What do you get? Brain Exploder is a system-agnostic module for use with weird small-town mystery games, such as Brindlewood Bay or External Containment Bureau. Comes with 24 pages in softcover slightly-bigger than A5 size. Red and black.
