The field behind the house: an AI horror text RPG

You inherit a farm at the edge of a cornfield. The neighbours no longer visit.

How your story begins

Morrow Farm

You stand in the kitchen of Morrow Farm, where the county road dwindles into ditches and an unbroken sea of corn. You are Ilse, an investigator who has inherited the place from an aunt you barely knew; the deed is folded in your coat, and the house smells of cold ash and damp wood. You mean to spend one night here and learn what happened to her.

Your first move: tap one, or type your own.

I ask the woman on the porch what happened at the well I examine the clean patch on my aunt’s desk I climb the stairs and look through the open door

Play The field behind the house free

No account, no card. Your first five turns start at once.

How it plays

Real dice

When it gets risky you throw a d20 yourself. The game shows what you need and what is at stake.

Danger that ticks

Threats grow as time passes and when you fail. When the clock is full, the consequence stays.

A world that remembers

Your items, money, wounds and the map are kept by the rules, not by the storyteller's memory.

People with a memory

Who trusts you, who owes you, whose patience runs out: it counts when you try to persuade them.
