A downloadable TTRPG

Whilst responding to a distress signal on planet Cain 615, the ship's scientist has wandered off alone again. He has discovered a clutch of alien eggs, his curiosity brings him in for a closer look, too close...

Cain Sun is a Mothership scenario where players take on the roles of parasitic alien worms, all fighting for control of a single human host through a custom control mechanic created specifically for this scenario.

Each player pursues a secret agenda. You are fragile, forced to learn the social dynamics of the crew and exploit their relationships to conceal your presence. You’ll explore the ruins of a dead alien necropolis, learn what destroyed it... and if anything survived.
