Down on your luck and desperate for any sort of paid gig, you and your intrepid group of 'heroes' spy a well paid job on the local noticeboard.

"Mercenary Guards wanted for security at Lord Chadsworth Farquat's 18th Birthday Event! Candidates should make themselves available to the Guard house at Farquat manor at the first bell on the 13th of Jules. 10gp per guard for the day's work."

Lord Farquat is the heir apparent to the Farquat's, an ancient founding house of the sprawling metropolis of Eisenberg. His estate is on the Noble's promenade, close to the Sanguine Gates that lead to the lower city. It will be a dull day standing security for a bunch of snooty privileged young nobles, but hey 10gp each will keep you in ale for a few weeks yet! You all head to bed early, to the distant sounds of the beating drums from the latest protest down in the slums, a regular occurrence these days...

There's a wound in the world, and nobody seems to care. You've seen it all around you - the glint of hellfire in an abusive manager's eyes, the hungry fangs in the mouth of a debt collector, the twisting shadow of a corrupt politician. But everyone around you is too complacent, downtrodden, or busy to fight.

But you have found a cheat code in reality that allows you to stand up and rebel. The wound is a nightmare castle, tucked away in backstreets and disused stairwells: a void seeking out the worst predator and provoking them. You’ll dive into that castle, steal its power, and see how that predator topples when the void abandons them.

Voidheart Symphony is an RPG of gothic urban fantasy injected with fantastical action and the survival horror. The characters are ordinary people who have found a way to fight against everyday horrors by venturing into a realm that reflects the dark psyche of those who cause pain with unearned power. Voidheart Symphony draws on a inspirational blend of Persona 5, Inception, and Silent Hill.

The RPG uses a Powered by the Apocalypse system which facilitates the players to contribute to the story in meaningful ways both in the real world and that other place.
