Nostalgia can be a funny thing. How many people look back on their childhood toys, favourite shows or even books, as an adult, and wonder why they seem to have aged so badly? Sometimes however, the magic remains, and the desire to share those happy memories with others takes over. The Gothic Game was a 1992 roll and move game designed by Nigel Andrews and Robert Wynne-Simmons, which, by modern standards, would be considered very unappealing. Despite that, talented solo designer Kriss Rees has taken it upon himself to reboot the title via his upcoming Kickstarter. The remake is called Damnation: The Gothic Game, and we’ve been playing an early version of it.
In the original version of The Gothic Game, players were tasked with exploring a haunted mansion occupied by all manner of hideous creatures including Dracula himself, but the most unpredictable foes of all – the other players – were the greatest threat.
