Our take on Zone 6
The defining structure is the transition from stat preparation in a neon city to a risky expedition into the surrounding icy wasteland.
What is Zone 6?
Zone 6 is a short narrative exploration game for one to four players.
Players choose between one and four indebted adventurers whose past mistakes push them toward the icy wasteland surrounding a neon-lit city. Before leaving the city, they raise their characters' stats, then travel into a frontier inhabited by creatures and unknown entities. The setting combines damaged technology, magic, and rival factions. Exploration carries the risk of encountering corrupted power, and player actions may produce consequences. The game can be played alone or with friends, with the group attempting to return after venturing beyond the city and clear the adventurers' debts.
