Fear Mythos: The RPG

Fear Mythos: The RPG is a role-playing video game created, written, and designed by Lizard Bite. It features eight protagonists from various Fearblogs trapped in The Empty City fighting The Fears and their servants. You can download the 1.27 Beta version here.

A spiritual successor called Panopticon: The Fear Mythos RPG by Lizard Bite was briefly in development before being cancelled.

Plot
The general plot of the game is that the playable protagonists have been trapped in The Empty City and must kill the Fears in order to escape. After completing one playthrough of the game it is revealed that the protagonists are not really in the Empty City, but a nightmare created by The Grotesque that they can never escape.
