Alone Against Fear

About this board game

Alone Against Fear is a stand-alone horror solo game for 1 player, with a playing time of about 75 minutes. Using a variation of the Four Against Darkness engine, it casts you as a lone survivor exploring a town invaded by monsters.

Create a character or choose from two pregenerated characters, then face a desperate struggle against time. As you investigate the town, you can read forbidden books, learn dark rituals, develop new skills, and fight threats ranging from zombies and vampires to werewolves, witches, evil clowns, and other horrors.

Survival depends on careful resource management. Keep track of your Life, Sanity, Food, and Ammo while searching for a way to close the Seven Gates of Hell on Earth. The game includes six scenarios, offering distinct frameworks for confronting its supernatural dangers.

• Hundreds of monsters to encounter
• 22 weapons for the fight against darkness
• Six scenarios and two pregenerated characters
• Character sheet and map sheet included

Alone Against Fear is a pen-and-paper game, so no miniatures are needed. All rules are contained in the 104-page book, and play requires only 2d6, a pencil, and paper. Its solo format puts every decision, discovery, and risk in the hands of one player.

Released in 2020, this horror game combines exploration, combat, character development, dark rituals, and tense resource management in a compact tabletop format. If you are looking for a game about standing alone against the walking dead, demons, vampires, and other nightmarish enemies, it provides a focused battle for survival against fear itself.
