OVERVIEW
'Unholy Disguise' was created by André Almo, João Macewicius and Maíra Amaral as part of the One-Page RPG Jam 2024.
In 'Unholy Disguise', a group of teenagers mess up big time on Halloween night, 2003. They stumble upon an eerie old chest in their town’s cemetery, filled with vintage Halloween costumes — Ghost, Witch, Vampire, Werewolf, and Clown. But when they put them on, the costumes become real, granting strange, supernatural powers. The teens soon realize they've awakened something sinister, as the graveyard becomes more alive — and more dangerous — than ever. Now, they must survive the night, battling against dark forces to break the curse and escape the cemetery before dawn.
This is a simple RPG that includes a fun, engaging story, as well as 5 playable characters, 4 locations, 5 enemy creatures, and a concise game system.
