The Girls of the Genziana Hotel [ashcan]

She only left behind a bloodstained stocking...

The Girls of the Genziana Hotel is a roleplaying game about chambermaids investigating the disappearance of one of their own: Marga, the boyish girl with the wild curls. It is the nineteenth century and all the girls work at the Genziana, an alpine hotel at the edge of the German territories. The Napoleonic wars have come to an end and Germany is changing—but you don't care about that, you just need to know what happened to her.

During the day, the girls will have to balance their work as maids and the investigation. During the night, they will brave the dark hallways into which their friend has disappeared. The girls will deal with the strict head of staff, the entitled guests, the rest of the employees, and, eventually, the person responsible for Marga's fate.

You might be into this game if you are into murder mysteries and gothic horror stories. As young women and maids, the girls are at the bottom of the patriarchal hierarchy of the hotel, but this game is about subverting that position by working together. So if you're into female rebellion, this is also for you.

This game is Powered by the Apocalypse, getting some of its best parts from Night Witches and The Warren.

This game is also Carved from Brindlewood, and uses its mystery system to facilitate player-driven investigation.

Ashcan out now.
