Parent Pro-Tip

Othercide is a challenging strategy game with a strong emphasis on tactical combat and decision-making. Be aware that the game features mature themes including significant violence and horror, and its permadeath mechanic can be unforgiving. There are no microtransactions or social risks. Sessions can be long due to the nature of turn-based combat.
