Cain is a horror tabletop role-playing game created by Tom Bloom, inspired by anime like Neon Genesis Evangelion and manga like Chainsaw Man. Player characters are a secret organization's exorcists who hunt "sins," monstrous materializations of human trauma. The game also focuses on the theme of oppressive bureaucracy.[1][2]
Gameplay
[edit]Cain is organized into scenes. Combat resolution uses dice pools.[1]
Reception
[edit]Hal Hewlett for Polygon in 2024 called Cain "tabletop gaming’s horror hit of the year" and wrote that, "Proud-worn inspirations, inspired visual choices, and a dice system that refuses to let up the pressure — all of this compounds into the amazing feeling that Cain is a game that actually has quite a lot to say."[1]
