Caught in the Rain is a solo roleplaying game of investigative mystery. Whether you are a child searching for their lost brother, or a detective searching for a ruthless killer, Caught in the Rain solves the challenge of solo mysteries by keeping the truth hidden. This allows players to uncover satisfying, cohesive, and sometimes unexpected revelations as if guided by an unseen hand.
When you play, you will weave a tense mystery, roll dice to determine the outcome of your investigator’s actions, draw cards from the clue deck to establish and strengthen your clues, and through a process of elimination, guess the truth cards set aside at the start of the game to solve the mystery. Can you uncover the truth before the weight of it becomes too heavy?
Caught in the Rain is a fully contained game containing everything you need to play including:
90+ pages of simple to learn TTRPG rules to create engaging mysteries.
Campaign options to play with the same investigator over successive mysteries.
Narrative oracles to aid your creativity and spark ideas in the story.
20+ genre tables to customise the genre and setting of your mystery.
Advice for playing solo RPGs, whether you're a veteran or beginner.
