Character-driven narratives with raw emotional depth.

Five Days is an intense, emotionally charged role-playing experience where players navigate the raw pain of loss and fractured relationships. Each player takes on the role of a Component of a Family (which may go beyond blood relations to include close friends, motorcycle gangs, cults, or any bonded group) who have yet to fully face a past trauma that has damaged their bonds.

Five Days is deeply personal. It invites players to explore grief and their place within their family as they reveal secrets, confront the past, and ultimately come to terms with their role in the tragedy. The story unfolds in five stages, mirroring the five stages of grief, as players answer the haunting question, "What happened that day, and why doesn't anyone want to talk about it?" The five-stage structure provides a clear yet flexible framework, while the universal themes of grief, loss, and family dynamics ensure that it resonates with a broad audience. It’s an ideal game for those who love character-driven narratives with raw emotional depth.

This game is about facing the unresolved and accepting one's trauma. Only through self-awareness and shared pain can the truth of your family history be unveiled.

The English edition of Five Days is produced by MS Edizioni and distributed worldwide by Ares Games.
