Simple Mystery Engine

Feel like running a cosmic horror tabletop game but don't want to learn a complicated new system?

Simple Mystery Engine is a rules-light roleplaying game built to help quickly create and play episodic mysteries in the vein of monster-of-the-week TV shows and pulp horror novels.

Players will take on the roles of Investigators, wavering between Rationality and Irrationality, capable of solving the mystery only by balancing these extremes.­­

Including instructions for character creation, gameplay and straightforward instructions on how to prep for a mystery game, Simple Mystery Engine is built to get you from not playing a game to playing a game as quickly and smoothly as possible.
