About the game
In the second game in the Novi Novi TRPG series, the setting has changed from fantasy to horror and a number of small changes have been made to make play even smoother. One change is that before the first scene you'll draw a prologue card to explain how all your characters have come together. After that it's the classic Novi Novi cycle of drawing and role-playing through scene cards until the Climax. Other editions in this game are single-player rules and skull icons on some of the Scene cards that mark which ones can be easily combined with other Novi Novi games. —user summary
