Our take on FLATHEAD
FLATHEAD departs from adventure's usual emphasis on movement through a world by making a minimal prediction loop carry the session. Tools, multipliers, and a looming threat turn each higher-or-lower choice into a gamble for escape.
What is FLATHEAD?
FLATHEAD turns a higher-or-lower guessing game into a tense gamble for freedom.
Pull a lever to reveal a number, then predict whether the next result will be higher or lower. Correct predictions award points and let the game continue. An incorrect prediction brings negative consequences. Tools can change the odds or delay the approaching terror, while point multipliers raise the potential reward from successful guesses. Points can be earned and banked toward an escape. A wheel of fate and other modifiers add further choices to each run. Quick sessions support repeated play, with a timer, approaching footsteps, and a gritty analog-horror atmosphere placing pressure on a simple prediction game.
