One Way Out is is a quick-play fantasy storytelling game of escape and betrayal.
Designed for two players, each fast-paced 30 minute session pits you against the terrible dangers of the all-powerful High Mages -- and each other.
In each session, you and your companion will attempt to escape a magical dungeon through a series of challenges. During each challenge, players make a decision whether to fight together or flee apart, leading to a dark choice at the Final Door.
Gameplay combines card-game mechanics with dice rolls and evocative prompts to determine the who, what, and how of each scenario. Together, you and your companion will weave these elements into a short story of triumph or doom.
One Way Out is Tabletop Bookshelf's first original game and was created for ZineQuest 2025.
