In a vast and primeval wilderness, tiny tribes of animal-like people scratch out meaning beneath towering leaves and the shadows of predators. There are no grand kings, no sword-and-banner wars. Only rituals. Only each other.

The Bleak is a collaborative, literate RP set in a primitive world where cultures are isolated, the land is alive with strange omens, and every moment is drenched in atmosphere. It's not about saving the world—it's about surviving in it, quietly, carefully.

Tiny tribes. Towering bugs. No gods, no glory. In The Bleak, survival is ugly, sacred, and earned one scar at a time.
