Fallen Worlds — a tabletop game with elements of dark fantasy and augmented reality. Using a smartphone, the map comes alive: characters, events, and the world literally appear on the table.

About the project. Fallen Worlds — is a tabletop strategy in the dark‑fantasy genre with AR‑technology integration. The main idea is to create an atmospheric and replayable game where classic board‑game mechanics blend with the magic of augmented reality. Using a smartphone, the map and elements come to life right on the table: characters, animations, effects, and story events appear. Players control a team of heroes with unique abilities — a paladin, a demon, a thief, a knight, and others. The core of the gameplay is exploration, moral decision‑making, combat, and survival in a world on the brink of catastrophe. Every choice influences the party’s development. We want to convey the feeling that players are part of a living narrative, not just “rolling dice.” In addition to the tabletop version, a single‑player PC version is being developed — a standalone story in the same setting, aimed at those who prefer solo gameplay. It will use many mechanics from the board game but with an emphasis on atmosphere, tactics, and narrative. What’s already done: Created the setting and basic world story Developed character prototypes and their abilities Drawn the map (rough version) Designed core balance and party structure Formed an overall concept of the rule structure and visual style Started work on digital mock‑ups What’s next: Mechanics development (game designer) Illustrations, miniatures, and map creation (2D/3D artists) Story and world development (writer, narrative designer) Prototype AR component (Unity/Unreal developer) Preparation for playtests and feedback collection Landing page creation and project presentation for the community Presentation on tabletop‑game and startup platforms We are currently a small independent team at the start of the journey (2 people), looking for like‑minded collaborators who are interested in: — dark fantasy and board games, — AR and experimental presentation, — working in a small team with creative freedom. If the idea resonates with you or you see how you can enhance it — write to us. We’ll be happy to talk.
