DSTLRY's Somna made the shortlist for IGN's Best Comic Book Series or Original Graphic Novel of 2024, and for good reason. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better-looking book on the stands. And while there's no word on whether Somna might be getting a sequel yet, it is getting an unexpected expansion in the form of a spinoff card game called Somna: Unveil the Shadows.
Somna was created and illustrated by Becky Cloonan and Tula Lotay. The game features both artwork from the comic and new pieces by Lotay. Check out the slideshow gallery below for an exclusive look at some of the cards featured in Unveil the Shadows:
Like Somna itself, Unveil the Shadows tells a moody, sensual story set in a 17th Century English village beset by witchcraft. Here's the official description for Unveil the Shadows:
In "Unveil the Shadows," each player assumes the role of a villager, witch, or the enigmatic Dream Demon, each harboring their own clandestine motives. Over the course of the game, players will engage in a tantalizing blend of strategy and social manipulation, striving to uncover who is killing the villagers
Drawing inspiration from the rich, atmospheric storytelling of "Somna," this game transforms the tension and dark sensuality of the comic into a palpable force at your table. Navigate alliances and betrayals, interpret cryptic, erotic dreams, and investigate ancient rituals to protect your secrets or expose others.
Perfect for fans of "Somna" and newcomers alike, "Unveil the Shadows" promises a thrilling experience of deceit, desire, and danger. Embrace your role and manipulate the shadows to your advantage—will you secure your survival, or will your true nature be revealed as the noose tightens?
DSTLRY has posted a detailed set of game rules on their website.
Unveil the Shadows is priced at $30 and is available for preorder on the DSTLRY website. The game will be released on April 23.
