Project Update: Complete Your Pledge Manager! (+ Download v1.3 Here!)
Hey Everyone! Nora here!
We shared the first version of the Prototype PDF just over a week ago now, and the response has been fantastic! I've already seen some people start working on fan content for the game like new Plot Books and Death Game Sheets!
With that said, we have something important to share: The Pledge Manager Links Have Gone Out!
If you haven't received your email, then you can follow the link here: https://despair-dilemma.backerkit.com/
Try and get your Pledge Manager done as soon as possible! The sooner the better since we can lock in important information and get things done sooner.

What to Expect With the Pledge Manager
If you haven't crowdfunded anything before, then a Pledge Manager where you can change your order and where we can ask you questions to make sure you get the rewards you've been promised. For the most part, this means we're checking for your address and how you want to be included in the "Backers" section of the book.
If your a Friends of Usashi Tier Backer: This is also where you'll be filling in the details about your character! You have special survey questions regarding your characters Name, Personality, Core Truth, and Starting Morale. We've also asked you for some contact information in case anything goes wrong, but most likely there shouldn't be any issues.
Please note that due to the current turbulence regarding the global shipping industry, we aren't charging for shipping yet. We're doing our best to find the most effective way to get everyone their books without expecting backers to pay exorbitant shipping and tariff fee's, so stay tuned as we get closer to production for more information.

Prototype PDF v1.3 Updates
Alongside the release of the Pledge Manager, we also have our first major update to the Prototype PDF! Similar to last update, we've included the link to download this update in the "Backer Only Content" section of this Update - but please note that Future Prototype PDF Update's Will be Distributed Through the Pledge Manager. So make sure to fill our your pledge information as soon as possible so you don't miss out!
With that said, here are the major changes you can expect from the new version of the PDF:
With that said, here are the major changes you can expect from the new version of the PDF:
- Two new Death Game Sheets have been added: The Purgatory Express (p42) and Livestream Lockdown (p44)
- A large number of assets and page layouts have been updated to more finalized versions
- A Quick Reference resource for the "Playing the Game" section has been added on p25
- An intro to our Death Game Mascot "Usashi" has been added to p29, although it seems to have been rudely interrupted.
- Solo Play is now included as a complete Module rather then a sidebar.
- A massive number of rules fixes, inconsistencies, and typos have been fixed! (Thanks to you all and the hard work of our editor Iris)
What/When to Expect (in) Next Update
With a large part of the early errors fixed up, the next update will be focused on adding new content and finalizing assets that need to be done before we can finish up the book. Most of our collaborators aren't likely to be done with their stretch goals yet, but if they are we'll try and add them too. For now you can expect:
- More finalized artwork and layout
- Balance patches to existing content (In particular for the Modules that are still being tested like the Solo Rules and Unknown Death Game)
- The inclusion of the "Premade Characters" section featuring any completed "Friends of Usashi" rewards
- And More! (Depending on how things go)
The actual update will be released sometime in about two weeks through the Pledge Manager! We'll have another update like this to make sure you know what's changed and know how things are progressing!

Thank you for your time!
