 Welcome to the Zombie ravaged ruins of war-torn Stalingrad. The
spiral bound book you hold contains all of the campaign scenario
adventures in a compact footprint. Gameplay is contained within the
discrete boundaries of the open book and the playing surface it creates.
The page your figure is standing on is your character’s “present
moment in time” and exact location in the larger battle to escape
Stalingrad. Past locations, and those of its future, are held neatly stacked
beneath their feet, ready for you to explore.
Your heroic, battle-hardened characters, available in token or
miniature form, are moved and controlled by you within the confines of
each newly discovered page location, creating a unique and engaging
hybrid method of play, that combines the strategies of grid based
tabletop warfare, with branching story arcs. The situations and scenarios
you will encounter in the course of play seamlessly weave the battlefield
locations together into the total Paths Unknown experience.
Choices made at key locations on each map will physically shift the
characters battlefield location to a new page and new challenges
propelling the character’s story forward. Wounds, weapons, equipment
and experience they have acquired from previous locations carry
forward with them into the new scenarios.
At each explored location, your chosen character will be confronted
with desperate odds in this forsaken place. Strategy, resource
management, luck and a little straight-up violence, will be key elements
in your hero’s survival. Your adventure starts on the next page.
