Breaking point is a investigative focused TTRPG system based in percentile, failures will affect directly your two stats Body and Mind, but success will grant you buffs to be spent in the future and maintaining a good "momentum".  The system can be played solo or with Friends.

This game was created to be played in a fast way and effortlessly as possible, the rules are simple and the price high. Try to always focus on the story and to maintain character while doing it.

Another worth to mention fact is that the system can be very brutal, by failing any test the character place themself in a position of disbelieve, mental stress or physical harm, with that their stats will be depleted.  By the other hand success grants buff to maintain the character momentum reflecting their state of mind.

the system is very simple and intuitive. I especially like the skill system, it gives you lots of possibilities without having a character sheet filled with skills you'll never use. it's one of the best I've found so far in the OSR scene as far as investigative RPGs go

Thank you for the kind words, yeah the first idea was to populate a character sheet full of bullet points for skills, something like Vampire.  But I guessed the freedom would fit better if I gave examples of usage.

Great and simple game of investigation and suspense. It also makes it very easy to bring a mystery idea imediatly into play without number crunching.

Thank you for the kind words
