Cthulhu Dreamt is an upcoming original sci-fi horror tabletop roleplaying game that combines immersive storytelling, survival-focused gameplay, and a fully integrated original soundtrack into a single experience. Set on a near-future Earth transformed by cosmic entities, the game challenges players to cross a dangerous world in search of one of humanity’s last hopes for survival.

Created by Reed Reimer and developed alongside a team of writers, designers, and musicians, Cthulhu Dreamt spans more than 700 pages across two hardcover books. Players take on the role of survivors navigating a world altered by the influence of Cthulhu and other forces. Throughout the campaign, players can scan QR codes embedded in the book to trigger tracks written specifically for key encounters. The result is a tabletop experience where music evolves alongside the narrative, creating a cinematic atmosphere.

“At its core, Cthulhu Dreamt is a beautiful exploration of both cataclysmic, apocalyptic horror, and deep, profound grief. It’s unlike any game we’ve ever designed, and working on it has been beyond anything I could have… well, dreamt. When Reed and I met all those years ago and started this journey, neither of us could have predicted how far it would take us. It is my greatest pride to have worked on this game, and it has transformed me. I think it’s transformed all of us,” says Jaron Johnson, Lead Game Designer & Writer at Vala Foundry.

Key Features of Cthulhu Dreamt include:
* More than 700 pages across two hardcover books
* An original narrative d12 ruleset
* Over 7 hours of original music
* QR code soundtrack integration throughout the campaign
* Ten playable character specializations
* Five standalone adventures

“When I began delving into what would become Cthulhu Dreamt, it was as a way to process grief over the loss of my daughter. I would never have thought that my loss would have led to gaining so many new and wonderful people in my life, whom I’ve not only had the opportunity to work and create with, but who have become dear, dear friends to me. The fact that wanting to make some music has become a world that other people could take and make their own is beyond magical to me, and I’ll forever be grateful to everyone involved!” Reed Reimer, Music Director & Composer, Fable Factory.
