The game pays homage to rules regarding a character’s carrying capacity as well as other tropes that arise in games involving dungeons or dungeon crawling. The game itself is gm-less and requires no preparation.
Trophy Dark is a horror storytelling game where the players are treasure hunters and set off to a dangerous place (abstractly called the forest, although it can also be a swamp, castle or something else entirely). However, the focus is not on finding treasure (that would be more like Trophy Gold), but on the character’s personal downfall. The game is a play to lose game, where the impending doom, whether death or physical as well as mental change, is in the foreground.
