It is many years into the future. A wealthy and powerful person (or persons) has claimed a rare and much sought-after prize: the “vault” of 200 unreleased (this is real!) songs from renowned Canadian pop artist, Carly Rae Jepsen. 

Hired by an anonymous sponsor, your team of highly trained individuals will raid a well-defended location to retrieve said item. From planning to set-up to execution, you will see this heist through to its completion, whether that be a success or failure. There will many twists and turns along the way, and don’t always trust the specialists by your side.

You work at foundation., a global corporation known for its cutting edge inventions and morally dubious treatment of its labour force. It stays at the top of its field by exploiting the paranormal and the metaphysical. Due to an “incident,” you are now trapped inside. You and a group of your co-workers are tasked by THE SHAREHOLDERS to fix what has broken and solve THE EMERGENCY.

The Head Office is an ever-shifting office complex that threatens to trap your intrepid group within its labyrinthine walls. Gain new abilities (ABSTRACTIONS) through exposure to the powers that lie beyond, investigate the truth behind foundation., traverse a place where new science is discovered daily, and cut through bureaucratic and literal binding red tape to escape and survive.

Tales’ End is an improvisational game about a group (or individual) remembering the journey that brought them here and reflecting on how they and the world around them have changed. Designed to open up a dialogue with prompts, the game guides players to experience an entire adventure through vignettes on the eve of the end of their travels.

The game is genre-agnostic, GM-less, and can also be experienced as a solo journaling exercise. It is intended to provide a streamlined experience for beginners, or a unique experience for established groups. The direction of the story is up to the players, with a system of prompts to provide guidance and tools to keep moving forward.
