Burrows

Burrows is a dark, narrative-driven game that follows Grey, a jaded possum who leaves 1920s New Orleans only to be pulled into a nightmarish afterlife by an enigmatic bartender named Virgil. Players move through a churning sea of souls, encounter a group of men tied to Grey’s former plantation and its troubled history, and must investigate to uncover what links them. Burrows is for players who want a moody, character-focused experience with psychological weight, but it includes mature, potentially triggering themes so prospective players should consider the content before diving in.
