A quick bite and back to whatever you were up to before, you thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou thought wrong. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe quiet patter of otherworldly feet. A distant, plaintive yowl. A creature with too many eyes and a sleepless hunger oozes from the walls and wriggles into a familiar shape. It smells your intent. It hears the sound of every spoonful. It whets its appetite on the mere possibility of your food. It hungers for your loops, and its craving will not be denied.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDescription:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI Crave the Loop\u003c\/strong\u003e is a cute, roguelike horror game about finishing your midnight snack before a suspiciously catlike eldritch critter devours your food. Choose a snack, discover what creature pursues you, then FEAST and FLEE your way across a variety of snack-filled maps in search of a secure place to continue your midnight munchings. Each origin offers a different advantage, while each map offers different  items and layouts to leverage against THE CREATURE. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe game uses a real-life snack as the clock for game completion\u003c\/strong\u003e—Each time your character eats, you take a bite in real life. Bites of your snack give your character ZOOMIES that help you to stay ahead of the creature that pursues you, while items unique to each map give you advantages in staying ahead of it. Play smart, and you'll finish your snack in (relative) peace. If the creature catches you, its all over and you can down the rest of your snack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need additional maps to print and play with, or have lost your file, you can download a new maps .pdf \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/brightbardgames.itch.io\/i-crave-the-loop-maps\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you need:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo play \u003cem\u003eI Crave the Loop\u003c\/em\u003e you will need the following physical or digital materials:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA copy of \u003cem\u003eI Crave the Loop\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA snack\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-6 six-sided dice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaps to play on, downloadable \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/brightbardgames.itch.io\/i-crave-the-loop-maps\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomething to write with (A pencil or pen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 tokens, one to represent you and the other represent the creature\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne downloadable PDF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e56 pages of game instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 maps printable maps\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade by humans (Haunted by hungry pets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Softcover","offer_id":52257661518126,"sku":null,"price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"PDF Only","offer_id":52257661550894,"sku":"PDFSRPG005","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/5430\/7630\/files\/Loop.png?v=1782855087","url":"https:\/\/brightbardgames.com\/products\/i-crave-the-loop-pdf","provider":"Bright Bard Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
