The Shadow Brigade – Rust & Blood is a game with simplified rules. It is a gateway to The Shadow Brigade, a wider and more challenging universe soon to be released under various forms on http://maisonnebuleuse.com/.

The Continent is frozen. Trapped in an endless winter, the land is scarred by the trenches of the Front Line. Mankind is bewildered by the Great War and devastated by Rust and Blood. The conflict has become an odd laboratory: the Union and the Empire are looking for solutions in areas where the rules of science no longer apply, where madness consumes even the greatest minds, and where the supernatural shapes the future. As soldiers of the Shadow Brigade, your duty is to explore the boundaries of the tangible amid this icebound hell. 

You are a Union agent enlisted in a Shadow Brigade. Your mission is to explore lost territories, fight preternatural creatures, survive, and try to find a “solution” to win the war. Who knows which secret you will discover? Which curse you will release? Which monster you will awaken?

V1.1 in progress!

The downloadable version is V1, released in December 2022. I regained ownership of the game in January 2025. I'm currently working on a graphical overhaul of the game, hoping to release a Print, Fold, Bind, Play version in the first quarter of this year.
