Pizza delivery guy against the darkness

A Solo Game of non-euclidean horror, cursed cities, and, well, pizza.

You’re known as Pizza Guy, and your job is to deliver pizza no matter the weather, the time, or the horrifying antediluvian creature prowling on the roads of the Old City today.

The pizza must arrive still warm within 60 minutes; your honor is at stake!

You are a monster hunter from an ancient lineage of crafty abomination killers. You’ve survived pentadimensional creatures capable of driving you insane by entering your peripheral vision. You’ve waded through rivers of blood and alien fluids. You escaped death countless times, running away from its cold, heartless touch. Yet today, you finally face your most formidable challenge: joining the gig economy.

Leaving your weapons on the rack and putting on a warm coat, you set off on your two-wheeled ride to deliver the finest pizzas of Old Town to some ungrateful cheese afecionado, hoping not to fall victim to the countless dangers lurking everywhere.

Pizza Delivery Guy Against the Darkness is a disarmingly simple solo game that comprises twelve five-minute scenes, just like the d12—the only die used in the gameplay. It’s designed for everyone, especially those looking for a light, solitary session that blends Bloodborne-style horror with delightful dumbness.

All the (few) rules fit on one page, with a second page reserved solely for rollable tables. Essential, functional, fun. What more could you ask for?

Like many solo and one-page games we’ll publish this year, Pizza Delivery Guy Against the Darkness is a Substack exclusive. It won’t be sold individually in our stores but as part of a collection at the end of the year. So, if you’re curious and want to try it now, you’ve got only one option—good thing it’s free!
