ABOUT THE GAME

Something stirs…

Strange symbols are appearing around the small town of Evergreen, Maine. People have been reported missing on the trails, hooded figures are seen in the twilight, and a constant buzzing is heard in every corner.Black Flies is a role playing horror game where players are cultists trying to seek their fortune under the powers of the fly cryptid, Zzrtrzz. Convert followers, collect tokens of darkness, resolve omens, and evaporate into clouds of flies.

~~Perfect for fans of Hot Fuzz, Hereditary, The Fly, and the Twilight Zone ~~
