NIGHT is a tabletop roleplaying game for 2 to 5 players, to be played in complete darkness.
In a world where the light has disappeared, you embody the Guides who work for the survival of their community.
« It has been 20 years since the light disappeared. We feel the heat of the fire without seeing its dancing flames. We taste the flavor of the apple without seeing its color. We hear the song of the chickadee without seeing it flying in the sky. We smell the scent of the lilac without remembering what its flowers look like.
It's been 20 years since light has stopped being a part of our lives.
But light was never part of my life. In the past, I was called "blind", I was said to be missing something... but today, people rely on me to feed and protect our community!
For I have been a Guide in the Night for 20 years now!”
NIGHT was created and designed to offer each player a game experience in which the sense of sight is completely absent so blind and non-blind people can play in the same way and share the same experience.
This is why there is only an audio version of the game. This is also why the rules are deliberately simple, to be easy to learn and remember after just listening.

Great...just great ! Very relevant in terms of gameplay, and also in its accessibility proposal for visually impaired people. Clear, limpid, very well thought. A total blast !
Un jeu efficace et radical ! Un systeme simple et rapide ! Bref, courez achetez Nuit et les autres jeux de Guillaume :)
The most intriguing and inclusive RPG I have ever heard about. I listened to it and I am so Hyped! I look forward to play with friends and discover the world of absolute NIGHT ! Centering blindness not as a disability anymore but as a force to guide Humanity in this post-apo world. Just a brilliant idea !
An ambitious yet straightforward game, elegantly designed. It never wavers from its initial vision — and it’s fun, to boot!
This game is maybe the first of its kind as you can't read the rules with your eyes but with your ears, as blinded as your character will be during the game for a great immersive experience.
The best stories are told when the owls are out ! (owls are optional here but the night is mandatory)
