DedBoi - an investigative solo TTRPG

Created by Critical Kit Ltd

You wake up dead. It’s a lot to take in, but there’s no time for philosophising- you’ll need to travel between Earth, Heaven and Hell to figure out whodunnit, howdunnit, and whydunnit. A game about death, levity and finding out hard truths.

A Change of Heart. Follow for a free game!

Hey there,

Sorry for the second update so soon, but I think you may forgive me once you read it.

Yesterday I posted that we were offering a free game to all backers in the first 48 hours, but now we've decided to switch things up a little: you no longer need to back in the first 48 hours to get the bonus game.

Now, anyone who follows the DedBoi campaign will receive a free mini-game called The Prayer as a PDF. We will send out links to download your game shortly after the campaign launches!



Moreover, if you do decide to back the campaign at a physical level, you will also receive a physical copy of the game!

The Prayer is a small, strange occult card game about belief, desperation, and making bargains with something that might be listening.

You have nothing to lose, hit follow on the campaign page and the game will be yours on the 2nd of February! 

Come join us in the afterlife!

DedBoi early bird special - grab a free game called The Prayer!
4 months ago – Tue, Jan 27, 2026 at 11:39:56 AM

Hey folks,

We're only days away from the launch of our DedBoi campaign as part of ZineTopia. 

I'm here to let you know about a special gift for early backers. When the campaign launches, anyone who backs in the first 48 hours will get a free mini-game called The Prayer.

This offer will be available as a PDF for digital backers and as a print copy for physical backers.

It's an eight page solo creative writing game where you use a deck of cards to help you draft a prayer to a dark deity of your choice. Satanic panic FTW!

Check out our launch page to find out more about DedBoi, and please give the campaign a follow to make sure you don't miss out on this offer!

Wanna play dead?
5 months ago – Tue, Jan 20, 2026 at 07:15:09 AM

Hullo,

Waking up dead sucks, but at least you're in your own bed. This is your bed, right? 

DedBoi is a solo role-playing game where you investigate not only your own untimely demise, but also try to figure out who the hell you are. Traverse hell, heaven and earth in search of answers to your questions. Sometimes, answers you don't want to hear.

From the award-winning creator of Be Like a Crow, Punk is Dead, and All Night Breakfast at The Midnight Owl comes an introspective game about death, life and self-discovery.




Please give the project a follow, even if you don't intend to back it, as it helps us boost our signal on BackerKit.

That's all for now, but I will give you another shout when we are live!
