Comrade: The Allegiance (Playtest)
A downloadable game
COMRADE: THE ALLEGIANCE is Illuminated by LUMEN, based on the LUMEN RPG system designed by Spencer Campbell, Gila RPGs. This game is in no way affiliated with Spencer Campbell or Gila RPGs.
Sometimes your best allies are your worst enemies.
In a world where various forces of darkness constantly war with each other within the shadows, you are among a small number in supernatural community that have elected to suspend hostilities for the good of their city. Now, staring down an invasion from ruthless outsiders, you'll need to join forces to save the place you all call home.
The Game
In Comrade: The Allegiance you'll face down overwhelming odds in an action-horror setting, with beat-em-up video game inspired combat, and special powers fueled by Bond Points that you earn from helping your fellow comrades. Defeat your enemies with supernatural abilities and the power of friendship. (And also violence).

Community Copies
If you'd like to give the game a try, take a copy from here. I'm only putting a price on it in its current form because I wanna hold myself to actually valuing my time, but until it's in a more final state I don't wanna block anyone who wants to give it a shot.
Purchase of either this or SHOOT THE GIFT will add more community copies to the pile.
