Flatpack

Fix the Future!

The apocalypse has come, but thankfully there‘s a way to rebuild. You just have to read the simple directions… .

Post-holocaust settings have long been a staple of speculative fiction, so it unsurprising that dozens of apocalyptic roleplaying games have been published over the last four decades. Flatpack: Fix the Future differs from its kin by focusing on rebuilding. Literally. Characters use their wits and pre-ruin technology to create a better world.

Here’s how publisher Machine Age Productions describes Flatpack:

Until someone tells us otherwise, we’re saying that Flatpack: Fix the Future is the first game in the smash Hyperoptimistic Postapocalyptic genre of gaming. Flatpack is a game about building a new society using pre-apocalypse technology that you don’t always trust or understand, and solving terrible problems creatively.
