A downloadable game

You are a teenager fighting to prevent the total takeover of the Earth by an extraterrestrial race of parasites. These parasites enter the brains of their hosts and completely take over. Anyone can be controlled by one without you knowing it. 

Your only weapon is a gift given to you by an alien warrior: you can turn into any animal you touch. You are using this power to harry your enemy and delay their invasion until the warrior’s people can get here and defeat them for good.

Idiot Teenagers with a Death Wish is a game based upon the mechanics and structure of Blades in the Dark by John Harper. It's a role-playing game about a group of children who fight a long, guerrilla war against impossible odds and an invisible enemy. It is a game of paranoia, sacrifice, horror, and endurance. There is space for humor and light-heartedness, but at the end of the day, the characters are fighting a war, and no one comes away from a war the same person they were when they started.

Listen to Follow the Leader and The Room Where It Happened play Idiot Teenagers With A Death Wish on their collaborative podcast, Dumb Kids Playing Hero!
