Wretched is an old-school role-playing game designed to play anti-hero characters in a cinematic setting. In Wretched Apocalypse, the genre is post-apocalyptic science fiction. This book can either be used as a standalone game or as a tool-set sourcebook for any Wretchedverse game, especially Wretched New Flesh, Wretchploitation and Wretched Space. You can just play it as a conventional post-apocalyptic sandbox or apply it to a space opera game universe. In the first case, the background could be Earth in the future; in the second case, there are plenty of options within colonised space. The setting included in this book is supposed to take place in post- apocalyptic Earth, but it can easily be adapted.
War runs rife calling forth starvation, hunger, cannibalism, disease, scavenging and mutations. There are endless deserts populated with the remnants of humanity. Shanty towns are run by tyrannical regimes. Once, this world may have been overflowing with resources, but now it is a polluted hellhole. Nature is a resilient bitch, though, and somehow she finds a way to break through the decay, rot, and bleak landscapes of a world that would appear to be uninhabited. Could it be pockets of survivors banded together as they fight common enemies?
While some sell out their friends and families for a few extra scraps, others join against great enemies. What awaits you and your group remains to be seen... Burst out of your comfort zone and discover something out of this world.
