You are not a hero. You are not chosen. You are an ordinary person who saw something in a parking garage at 2am, or read the wrong thread, or followed a missing friend's last known location into a building that had no basement on any city record. You survived that first encounter by luck. Now you can't stop looking.
Hollow Witness is a solo investigative horror TTRPG built on a single, simple mechanic — roll your skill pool, take the highest die — carrying a full campaign framework on top of it. Cases build into a Rift that never resets, contacts get spent and lost, and every investigator who doesn't make it back leaves a permanent mark on the world the next one has to live with.
- > One core roll resolves everything — combat, rituals, downtime, and the solo Oracle all share the same simple d6 pool mechanic
- > Generate procedural cases and sites from linked tables — Source, Objective, Subject, Site Type, and Complication
- > Track Stress and Sanity as the Hollow takes its toll, with a Fracture table for when it finally breaks you
- > Face a full bestiary of named Horrors, from lone Faithful to the Anchor to the God Below
- > Run a full campaign with a Rift Counter, a spendable Contact Network, and permanent Scars
- > Lost investigators leave a permanent Legacy that reshapes the world for whoever plays next
Includes a full three-case Starter Campaign that teaches every system in sequence, complete Character Creation with eight Backgrounds, a Site & Case Generator, a 12-entry Bestiary, a layered Solo Oracle, and the full Campaign & Legacy system.
