Will you cling to your Dream, or surrender to the darkness?
Step into the grim and haunting world of Memento Mori, a folk-horror roleplaying game by Two Little Mice, set in the plague-ravaged Europe of 1347. As the Black Death claims countless lives, players embody Drifters—plague-stricken wanderers touched by dark forces, caught in a desperate struggle to fulfill their deepest Dreams before succumbing to their fate. This 200+ page hardcover corebook, presented in evocative black-and-white A5 format, contains everything you need to dive into this narrative-driven experience.
In Memento Mori, Drifters confront terrifying creatures from folklore, their encounters fueling a unique corruption mechanic. With each horror faced, characters grow less human, gaining supernatural powers at the cost of their humanity—represented by an innovative dice system using white dice for human skills and black dice for monstrous abilities. Players roll to achieve successes (5s and 6s) against challenges set by the Narrator, but every new power demands a sacrifice, forcing heart-wrenching choices to pursue their Dream.
This corebook includes a richly detailed setting, core rules, and a short introductory adventure featuring four pre-made Drifters, ready to play. Bound in a canvas-style hardcover with elegant gold lettering and a ribbon bookmark, it’s as beautiful as it is haunting. Crafted by Andrea Felicioni and Marco B. Bucci, with stunning art by Francesco Biagini and others, Memento Mori is a rules-light, narrative-focused RPG designed for mature players who crave deep storytelling and emotional depth.
