Rated TV-M for Mothership



Appalling TV requires appalling subjects! OMENDROME is a pirate shock-TV station operating in secret and outside of the law. They broadcast the worst that the universe has to offer, and their sick audience is morbidly growing. They need freelance filmmakers to risk health and sanity to capture the best worst footage of humanity’s decaying existence.

OMENDROME's call sheets are out and it’s up to YOU to find these eccentrics (and often criminal) film subjects. Decode the leads, find the target, and capture your client's cinematic deliverables... how hard can it be?

Experience OMENDROME in high definition with in-game accessories and the ARKYVR toolkit at a discounted price!


Everything you need to run immersive documentary-style adventures for Mothership core & ARKYVR!


Only the essentials to run OMENDROME missions for Mothership core & ARKYVR!

Follow your target's exploits and capture their awful moments for a chance at grand viewership. Will you let events naturally unfold and become an accomplice to their crimes or manipulate the circumstances and become the real monster? Take control of the narrative with your camera and shape the story any way you want.
Player Facing "Call Sheets"


Featuring 10 filmmaker centered mini-adventures on an 8.5" x 8.5" saddle-stitched zine that can easily slide into your current story or jump start a brand new campaign. Each bounty profile is split between the front and back facing pages. Players use the front-side computer monitor to decipher clues and locate their bounty. Wardens use the back-side notes to execute horrible adventure twists and deadly character abilities.
