Othercide

Othercide is a tactical turn-based RPG where you command an army of female warriors called Daughters against nightmarish creatures threatening reality. Combat uses an initiative timeline system where positioning and ability timing matter—delay enemy turns, interrupt attacks, chain moves between units. The game's stark visual style uses only black, white, and red. Between battles you'll face sacrifice mechanics: healing one Daughter often means permanently losing another, while survivors grow stronger and develop new abilities. No traditional leveling between runs—progress comes from tactical mastery and hard choices about who lives. The setting is abstract horror, a realm described as existing behind the mirror of human consciousness. Expect punishing difficulty where each decision about unit placement, ability use, and resource management compounds. Best for players comfortable with permadeath systems and roster management under pressure.
