Velura: The Forbidden Game

A board game found on the walk home turns out to be alien tech, built by an extinct species called the Velurians for exactly one purpose: finding wombs to bring their people back. Four protagonists get picked as candidates, which is a bad night to have played along.

Days pass like a normal RPG, school and errands and whatever else counts as a life before all this. Nights are the problem. Sometimes the board acts like a tabletop session, and you make choices that steer what happens next. Other nights it pulls you physically into Velura, a world that no longer feels like fiction, where creatures are actively hunting the protagonists down to breed them. Either way, the goal stays the same: get through the night without becoming a nursery for a dead civilization.

The loop splits between grounded daytime exploration and the tension of not knowing which kind of night you're going to get. It's less about picking a genre and more about surviving whichever one shows up.
