I'm Tim Lampasona of Cardboard Revolution, one of the designers of Demon Castle Mononoke, AMA!
Hi everyone!
My name is Tim Lampasona, I'm a designer with Cardboard Revolution, a game design co-op, and co-designer on Demon Castle Mononoke. The game is a cooperative survival horror game set in mythical Japan. Players take the roles of lost souls trapped in a haunted castle under siege by mysterious Yōkai from Japanese folklore. They'll need to survive for 6 nights, culminating in an epic confrontation with the Mononoke, an incredibly powerful enemy represented by a pop up book!
We're currently raising funds to produce it on Gamefound:

This game is a true labor of love, designed hand in hand with a Japanese folklore expert and writer, so each card is packed with lore and flavor. Feel free to AMA about design, forming a worker owned co-op, or working with a cultural consultant/writer, or about our first game, Loam (and how being an entomologist for my day job informed that one)
I'll start answering questions at 12pm Eastern US time and will be hanging out for a few hours :)
