Cosy Coven will be releasing the Slavic mythology inspired roleplaying game Touched by the Gods later this year. The game, built on the Year Zero Engine from Free League Publishing, places players into an alternate history where their characters have received powers from the gods. Yet those powers are as much a curse as a blessing. Touched by the Gods is slated for a Q3 2023 release and should carry an MSRP of around $49.99.
About the game:
In Touched by the Gods players will take the roles of doomed heroes of a long gone Folk. They have been Touched by one of the eight gods and possess special powers now. Thanks to that they can do what none other can. But the divine energy is eating them from inside out and at some point it will become the cause of their demise, a very spectacular one.
Touched by the Gods is based on ancient Slavic culture and is set somewhere in Central Europe sometime in the First Millenium That Could Have Been. It is absolutely not a historically accurate presentation or reconstruction of those times.
Touched by the Gods uses the open license Year Zero Engine system, that you might know from such titles as: Alien, Mutant Year Zero, Tales from the Loop, Vasen, and many others.
