ViewScream
A downloadable game
ViewScream is a live-action role-playing game.
It's designed for online play via video-chat or audio-chat software (such as Zoom, Skype, Google Hangouts, Roll20, or Discord).
This collection includes ViewScream 2nd Edition and both expansions (ViewScream 2020 and ViewScream: Distance).
NOTE: ViewScream's zip files contain a 40-page PDF rulebook, 35 adventures in PDF form, and an editable template for creating your own adventures.
What's it about?
Three to five players assume the roles of desperate people trapped in a world of high-tech horror: crew members going insane aboard a damaged starship; scientists in research labs, hunted by their own creations; or futuristic data-thieves on the run from soulless security drones.
The characters are separated by quantum anomalies, hostile xenomorphs, or tentacled horrors beyond human comprehension -- and they need to work as a team in order to survive. Since they can't reach one another in person, these characters must communicate by using viewscreens throughout the ship (just as the players communicate via video-chat software). A typical game session lasts 60-90 minutes.

Will you betray your shipmates? Will you work with them, even though some of them may be guilty of horrific crimes? What happened to the rest of the crew? How many minutes do you have before it happens to you, too? Can you escape, or will someone find your mangled corpse floating in the void?

My friends and I have played several ViewScream scenarios and I honestly just wanted to say for anyone considering buying it that you ABSOLUTELY should. We've never had more emotionally charged rpg scenarios and every single person I have introduced to this game has loved it.
So much fun.
Got recommended it on reddit and love the idea! Trying it out with friends next week.
Awesome! Hope you dig it.
It was definitely more difficult than most rpg's my friends and I played, but not in a bad way. We had a great time playing one of the scenarios the other night! I specifically loved how it played with what each character thought of the others. The pdf's are all super easy to read and understand + those summary pages for players are the best. The difficult part just comes when it seems more like improv acting than simple roleplaying, so I would only play this game with groups who I know are very familar with ttrpg's. Good stuff!
Cool! Appreciate the kind words. I'm glad your group had fun with it!
And it’s now available in french ! Thanks to all the team from the original game who gave their generous permission.
Sorry, just saw this. Yeah, that's cool, hope you all have fun!
Hi,
I’m eager to try the game!
I already went on a sound hunt!
