Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees is one of IDW’s most popular currently running comics. It’s been described as “Dexter meets Arthur” and I really can’t describe it more succinctly than that. It’s a dark tale of antiheroes with cuddly visuals illustrating it.
By day, Samantha Strong is a small-town bear, the cheery helpful owner of a hardware store. No one in the forest suspects her double life, and that she’s the one behind the recent string of nighttime murders in the big city. She has a moral code though (somewhat), and it prevents her from killing any of her neighbors. When a victim actually turns up, Samantha realizes she has a rival and the hunt begins.
Now, you and your friends can live the on-edge lives of citizens in Woodbury when IDW partners with Hunters Books to release the Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees Storytelling Game. What’s a storytelling game? It plays differently than a traditional tabletop game….there is no GM or any central player controlling the story. Instead, the narrative is collaborative, with the players as a whole deciding what happens based on their actions.

Each player has their own Dark Secret, and must try to fulfill the conditions of their Dark Secret over the course of several rounds divided by three story acts. In the meantime they must avoid that secret being exposed while trying to uncover the secrets of others…because their lives depend on it. One Dark Secret is that of a neighborhood serial killer!
You can get the standard version of the Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees Storytelling Game for a $40 pledge. The Deluxe Edition is $90 and includes collector’s coins and miniatures of all the main characters, plus any stretch goal material. As of this writing, the Early Bird pledges are still active and you will get an 8 x 6 art print at no extra charge if you’re quick enough.
You have until November12 to get into this mystery! Make your pledge through this link.
