Breathless - Shoot, Loot, Survive

The city has been walled up from the outside. You are stuck with breathless Crawlers roaming as far as the eye can see. You are surrounded by strangers, and the only thing left to do is survive. You can’t give up now.

Ain't No Rest for the Wicked

Breathless is a survival horror role-playing game where you play as Survivors trying to stay alive in a walled city full of Crawlers (zombies). The entire game fits on two sides of a letter-sized sheet of paper, making it the perfect game to print at home and enjoy for a nice and cozy zombie killing one shot.

The game is inspired by things like: Shaun of the Dead, Left 4 Dead, The Last of Us, and other great zombie related media.

Basically, if you want to kill some breathless living dead, this is the game you are looking for.

Thanks

Breathless is inspired by both the format and mechanics of 2400 by Jason Tocci. I want to thank Jason for having designed the 24XX SRD, and for all the time he's taken to review and give me suggestions on Breathless. It truly meant a lot.

I also would like to thank Andrew Boyd from Pandion Games and Bruno from Opal Breeze Games who've also reviewed and provided suggestions on Breathless. Your opinions and friendships are so very important to me.
