Project Psyche

Death isn't the end. For some, it's the beginning.

Project Psyche is a cinematic tabletop roleplaying game of supernatural investigation and impossible power. Your characters are ordinary people who came too close to death and didn't come back the same. Now they see the dead. They hear what the living won't say. They bend reality with psionics fueled by Plasm, the psychic residue of death itself.

Working in small cells, they take the cases no one else can: hauntings, occult mysteries, and disappearances with no rational explanation. Rival psis want what they have. Secretive agencies and institutions want to study them, use them, or make them disappear. And the ghosts have agendas of their own.

At the heart of the game is a complete system of psychic powers (no "spell lists"). Players describe what they want to do, and six broad Disciplines (Apport, Augment, Emanate, Force, Gnosis, and Link) turn intent into effect. Each Rank raises the ceiling. At first, a psi can only perceive, then shape what they touch. Then they can make those changes last, and eventually force them on someone who's fighting back. Plasm makes an effect stronger but never more likely to work, so every point spent is a gamble with a resource that's precious, finite, and deeply unsettling to hold.

Tense investigations. Dangerous choices. Escalating consequences. In Project Psyche, solving the case can be worse than failing it.
