If you pre-order the Anthology, you will experience the world of Red Rooster the way its meant to be seen: through the eyes of more than a dozen artists, musicians and developers on 150+ pages and the accompanying limited edition 7 inch Vinyl record.

This is why we decided to embark on an ambitious logistical undertaking to organize a globally co-ordinated reveal of our first RPG, codenamed Project Red Rooster, not through press release or social media post, but through the analogue medium of a physical book and vinyl record.

There once was a time when information didn't move at the speed of light. A time before invisible transfers and long-distance calls. It was a time of analogue machinery and object-permanence. We want to have that again. Not in the past but in the future.
