Shadowstones

Shadowstones is a solo Shadowdark zine inspired by the dark fantasy themes of Dragon Age, Demon's Souls, and old-school dungeon crawlers. In Shadowstones, you enter  the depths of a forgotten realm, where lost knowledge, ancient horrors, and strange runes of power shape your survival. This game focuses on the exploration and slow descent into darkness towards the beating Heart of the Abyss.

Designed for solo adventurers, this zine introduces:

New Classes

Dynamic encounters, procedural dungeon layouts, and environment-based challenges keep you on your toes.

The Rune Mechanic

New Enemies

Whether you’re a veteran delver or new to solo RPGs, Shadowstones gives you the tools to create a gripping, immersive journey into the unknown.

The Abyss calls to you. Will you answer?
