PREQUEL RPG: A Tactical Storytelling Game of Heroic Sacrifice

A Tactical Storytelling Game of Heroic Sacrifice

In PREQUEL, you don't just play a hero—you play a hero destined to die. Prepare for a tactical storytelling experience where the end is already written, but the journey is yours to forge. Designed by Ethan Yen and published by Exploring Their Fears, this RPG focuses on the final, desperate stand of heroes against an overwhelming Evil.

Fight the Evil, Forge Your Legacy

PREQUEL is a unique tabletop roleplaying game that blends narrative depth with tactical combat. As your party of 3-5 players faces the inevitable, you will engage in flashback mechanics to recall your grand Quest and the bonds built between your characters. Every action taken in the present is fueled by the memories of the past, creating a poignant, high-stakes atmosphere where every roll counts toward the legacy you leave behind.
