Perigon Falls
Walk the trails. Record what you find. Decide what it means.
Every location in Perigon Falls leaves you with something: a detail that does not belong, a fragment from a ranger log, a sound you cannot quite place. None of it proves anything. But together, it may suggest a story.
Perigon Falls is a solo journaling RPG about exploring a quiet national park that never gives you the whole story.
Use a map, changing weather, random prompts, and a few dice to decide where your hike takes you and what you notice along the way. Record a few observations, sketch your route, or write a complete journal entry. The game gives you structure without asking you to explain the park.

Your next trail is ready
- Play entirely solo. No game master, group, or preparation required.
- Explore the park at your own pace using its map, locations, weather, keywords, and recovered audio logs.
- Write as much or as little as you like: A few notes, a sketch, or a longer journal entry are all enough.
- Return whenever you want and discover different routes, fragments, and possible connections.
- Play in English, German, or Italian
- Includes The Unofficial Ranger Files Vol. 1 with four additional locations and 24 new fragments at no extra cost.

How a hike works
Each visit to Perigon Falls follows a simple rhythm:
- Check the weather. Draw a playing card to learn what conditions shape your hike.
- Choose your route. Use the map and a d20 to discover where the trail takes you.
- Notice what is there. Roll the dice for keywords, unusual details, and fragments from the park.
- Record what happened. Write a few sentences, make a list, sketch the location, or mark something on your map.
- Decide what it might mean. Connect the discovery to something you found earlier, or leave it unexplained.
You do not need to write pages of fiction. A few observations are enough to continue your journey.
There is no predetermined solution hidden in the rulebook. Perigon Falls gives you places, fragments, and possible connections. The story emerges from what you notice and how you interpret it.

A misplaced object. An unfinished ranger note. Evidence that someone else stood where you are standing now.
