The art reminds me a bit of the Devil's Tower in Wyoming! I love the adventure summary, the idea is awesome and definitely something I would want to run. The Doomsday Clock is creative and I like how it keeps the time pressure on the players! "The blue ghosts just want a hug." Lol, nice rumors. Are the pipe ghosts in the Sewer Grid?
Just dropping by to say this was my one biggest inspiration for my own entry, lol... The vibes are really consistent throughout and tell a story with a definite mood (which is the main thing I'm looking for in vibes), although they're not specifically "NES/8-bit" vibes (or something combining that with the general vibes of Shadowdark) so it's just shy of perfect. The inspiration came through really well though, I feel like you did a great job of incorporating the main "thing" about each game (from a gameplay perspective) into the module in a practical, consequential way. Not so much in terms of "lore"/story/characters, but actual gameplay instead, which is a completely valid approach IMO. And the actual gameplay material feels as complete as it could possibly be to me. All in all, amazing work!
Really solid entry - very thematic. Solid layout - professional looking (especially given time allotted). Looks fun. Great job!
I like the cover art, but maybe because it reminds me of the 80's board game Dark Tower (always wanted, never had it.) The Doomsday Clock is an interesting way to keep the players moving up, and adding to the issue of a light source possibly being snuffed out.
Great editing, this feels like an authentic Shadowdark adventure. Love the artwork and map.
I really like the doomsday clock mechanic and the vertical progression with the Grapple-Claw. Overall really good
