You are a nobody somewhere in rural America.
And you are a Gazer. Haunted. Changed.  
You see the things others deny. 
Your Gaze is your weapon and your doom.
Only you can push back the Beyond.

FIENDGAZER is a tabletop roleplaying game about small-town freaks defending their community from supernatural threats. You learn about a presence through twisted signs and horrors, and you are the only ones who can protect bystanders from it. As you delve deeper to understand the dark intentions behind the haunting, you will be forced to reckon with the Beyond.

It's dark, deadly, and Carved from Brindlewood.

Designed for 2–6 players for episodic play in 3–4-hour sessions.

The Aim

To uncover a slow-burning, creeping horror in a small town on the edge of collapse. Players tell a story together about repression, sacrifice, and how belief shapes reality. You’ll struggle with your own corruption, and ultimately face the Fiend’s Intent in a final confrontation. You won’t always win. You may not even survive. But your choices will matter.

The Tone 

Spiritual dread and mythic decay. This is a slow horror game: mystical, biblical, and psychological. There’s beauty in the dark, and the light doesn’t always save you. We’ll lean into ambiguity, metaphor, and temptation. The evil is behind familiar rituals that twist into something else.

Subject Matter

This game includes themes of religious horror, corruption, memory loss, personal trauma, and inevitable decay. Characters may suffer loss of control, physical harm, emotional distress, or merge with inhuman forces. Since many themes may feel too intense or off-limits, the game features Safe Words, a safety tool similar to Lines and Veils.
