Luddite *PRE-ORDER*

ETA Q4 2024

Luddite is a roll and write style game with a fully integrated graphic novel. In Luddite, one to an unlimited number of players will progress along the story of the novel whilst competing to destroy ever more complex automata. Creating a full campaign style game.

As a Luddite you will be hacking into the neural networks of the NED automata. These bionic, dog-like creatures are capable of performing almost any complex task to which they are assigned and, as such, have begun to replace vast swathes of the human population. As a Luddite, you will work to destroy these infernal machines.

During each game, players will roll three communal dice then use these dice to interact with the various modules of the NED. They will move their Neetle nanobot through the systems of the NED, opening and closing logic gates to enter and destroy key systems of the NED robot. All the while, collecting valuable resources to help them along their way.

Each round players must add one of the dice to the clock module, the higher the die added, the more damage done to the NED but also the less time the player has inside its systems, creating a push-your-luck style tension to each decision.

If players do not get their Neetle nanobot to the exit node of the NED before the clock runs out, their hack will be a failure.

The integrated graphic novel comes with hundreds of complex images from artist Adam Beachey all from within the vast Solar 175 universe.
