Betrayal At Club Low is developer Cosmo D’s latest entry to the surreal, Lynchian ‘Off-Peak’ universe; and it launches today on PC, Mac and Linux via Steam and Itch.io. Betrayal At Club Low sees players on a rescue mission to infiltrate the titular Club Low which is sure to be filled with curious encounters and events if the prequel Tales From Off-Peak City Vol. 1 (and the key features below) is any indication.

​

Betrayal At Club Low sees players on a rescue mission to infiltrate the inimitable, titular Club Low. This former coffin factory-turned-nightclub is a beacon of nocturnal energy, a haven for wild-limbed dancing, mind-altering music and shady characters aplenty. It’s a deceptively dangerous place that rewards the curious, the bold and the whimsical.

Inspired by punchy, independent zine RPGs, Betrayal At Club Low evokes the feel of a one-shot tabletop session. Using tactile dice-driven gameplay, players will experience a highly-reactive narrative loaded with tense decisions and surprising twists at every turn. There are multiple ways to approach the mission, with each subsequent choice leading to one of eleven possible outcomes.

Will you succeed? Will you fail? Or will your night take an unexpected detour? Roll the Pizza Dice and find out!

Key features of Betrayal At Club Low include:

• A Bespoke Tabletop Session Come to Life
• Character Skills As Customizable Dice You Physically Roll
• A Reactive Narrative
• A Scoped Experience - One Mission, Eleven Possible Endings
• Pizza... As Dice
• The Off-Peak Saga Continues

Betrayal At Club Low is now available via Steam and Itch.io priced at a discounted $9.99 / £7.19 during launch week.

This, this I like. An indie series not afraid to try something completely different. For $9, the trailer alone is enough to sell me on it.
