The truth is out, bear.

Something's moving in the dark. It could be gliding across a deep lake, rising from a foggy swamp, or striding through the tangled woods, but whatever else happens tonight. . . a cryptid will be sighted.

There's just two problems:

1. You have a complex hoax that requires precision and skill to pull off.
2. Everyone involved (including you) is an ACTUAL BEAR.

BEARANORMAL is a hack of Honey Heist by Grant Howitt, where your team of bears will stage a cryptid encounter to blow some human minds with the mystery of the unknown without getting caught.

Created for the One-Page RPG Jam 2026!

(this game is currently under construction, mind the dust and have fun!)
