A downloadable game

Out there in the dark between the stars we found wondrous things and terrible things.  In black holes and nebulae we found gods, seeders of planetary life, shapers of cosmic forces, strange and unknowable—and very, very lucrative.

You are the captain of a factory ship. You and your crew hunt, harpoon, and process gods for their meat, oil, and other valuable products.


This is a solo roll n write game for people who like lots of tables and lots of maths and a bit of blasphemy.

This game is incomplete. This is a playable ashcan edition. Art and layout has not been completed.

Created for Strange Pact’s A Machine For Gods jam October 2022

Forthcoming features
(in no particular order)

  • Hand drawn art
  • And layout
  • Probably more flavour text and lore


Contains themes of hunting, overhunting/extinction, cannibalism, unrestrained profit motive, and straightup blasphemy. Also contains references to body horror, the existence of drugs and substance abuse, death in space, and wild animal carnivory.

I see that development for this game is on hold. I recently found it and fell in love. Are you interested in playtest feedback? How do you feel about homebrew content?

hey, I'm glad you liked it! Please by all means let me know what you thought. At this stage I consider it essentially complete apart from the typos, and I just stalled out forever on the art and layout, but it's definitely my most mechanically complex game so I'd especially love any feedback about balance and flow. Homebrew content is very exciting, I did so much research about historical whaling, animal commodities, maths about meat, and more to build this universe, so it's incredibly gratifying that you want to expand it and I'd love to see what you come up with.
