The Grind

The daily grind is getting to you. Every day is the same thing — get up, do your job, go home, go to sleep, and do it all again tomorrow. There’s no escape, no relief. Gotta work to live, but it’s quietly crushing your soul. Little do you know that this existential ennui will prepare you for the greatest challenge your world has ever faced.

The Grind is a game for 3–5 players about soul-crushing day jobs—jobs that are so bad they tear the veil between this world and the next, unleashing soul-devouring evils from the Other Side.  Will you save your world, or let it decay into ruin?
