Over and Over.  This Place is Wrong. This Village is wrong.

Vicious Circle is a Horror TTRPG where Players are trapped in a looping Village.

Each week it falls prey to all manner of terrifying entities, states of madness, phenomenon and creatures. Monday, all is well. By Sunday all is hell.

You Play as a new arrival to the town who soon discoveries in order to break free of this never ending cycle you must survive past midnight on Sunday. If you do you are free! 

Rules-Lite

This booklet gives the foundations for GM's inexperienced or not to create a fun, simple yet diverse Horror Experience. Easy to read and open enough to allow original content to be made for GM's and Players alike! 


Rogue-Like

Players must use their wits to survive as well as ITEMS and COMPANIONS that give new perks and improvements. Players that DIED(lose) can pass on an item to the next Character they create. Characters who successfully survive a week (game session) gain a TRAIT which carries on through future games.


Horror Generator 

Using a dice based generator Table, each session will contain a myriad of putrid forces to face. 96 possible outcomes are available, separated by types. Will your Players face haunting dreams that eat away at their minds or a strange individual offering free surgery on one condition ?

Are you ready to enter this little Village. Again....and again....and again....

Hello,

I hope this message finds you well. I recently purchased your game and was captivated by its incredibly engaging setting. The design and atmosphere of the PDF are outstanding, and I can’t wait to start playing it.

By the way, I am Japanese. When playing games written in English, I usually rely on translation tools. However, since the text in this game's PDF is embedded, it is quite challenging to translate it automatically.

Do you have any plans to release a version with plain text data? I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Hi! Thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot. I'm afraid I haven't got the plain text in full but I found this site which apparently can translate pdf files intro other languages; you need a free account to use unfortunately. (https://www.deepl.com/en/translator/files/l/en/ja

Otherwise I can link you this incomplete/Work In progress document, to translate if that helps!  (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1G0RuKLmXLC40CpdnMkpNHS2FWtDAi76mAKtrm6Maqvc/...

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful but will keep this in mind for future games (making sure to keep a plain text version for translating)  

Thank you! :)

This is a fantastic premise, and the execution is excellent! To elevate it even further, I'd suggest adding an "Example of Play" section. This could detail how a typical day unfolds, giving readers a deeper understanding of the game's mechanics and engaging them further.

Thank you and you're totally right!!! 

Ugh, I just hate developers like you the most.

It's the atrocities committed by those developers I despise, and you alone, that can never be reconciled. I am just utterly disgusted with them as a whole. There is not a single bound that lay untouched, all depravities conquered. I just want a reason as to why this kind of developer isn't detestable. The past couple of days I've gorged myself in morbid curiosity of this evil, and I am just sick. I just can't think clearly.

How dare you give away free copies of such an AMAZING game??!? Don't you value all the time and resources that went into creating this masterpiece? Is this some kind of joke? How could a sane individual, not to mention an extremely talented one at that, place so little value on their creation?!? If this work of art is considered worthless, as it is being distributed for free; then the Portrait of Mona Lisa should have just better been a toilet paper. Oh, maybe mocking and insulting geniuses of countless generations is fun to you? Do you take pleasure in disgracing the history and artistic value of mankind? Have great shame, as I consider you to be the source of all evil, the manifestation of extreme cruelty itself.

Tch, I just really hate people who undervalue their work. Tch, tch, really.


Anyway, really appreciate the free copy! I've been having a blast playing the book for the past few hours!

Thank you soo much!!! Really means a lot to read such kind words! 
(But the opening line DID give me a heart attack haha)

I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the community copies available. I'm currently paying for my own education so I can't exactly afford spending money on tabletop rpgs but I was planning as soon as I had money to spare to buy this game.....I guess I'll have to gift someone the game instead.

Ah glad to here it! And a gift copy is always a nice gesture~!! (When able of course)

sounds cool , kind of a longshot as no community copies and seems to be kinda non populair mmmmm , but your game does intrigue me
