In the basement of a hospital, a group of criminals voluntarily
enter an induced coma. Together, they will pull off the heist of their
lives in the dangerous but promising astral plane. But it won't be easy;
they must guard the integrity of their silver cords. If these get too
strong, they may awaken prematurely. If they fade away, they will die
and become astral specters.
Flatline Heist is a minimalistic role-playing game for a game director and between 1 and 4 players inspired by Ghost/Echo, Uncanny Echo and Honey Heist, designed to be played in a single session. You will only need some six-sided dice, pen and paper.

A different world in every game
Discover a limbo turned criminal paradise, where everyone wants to
amass the power and fortune they haven't been able to do in the mortal
world. Build a chaotic and dreamlike world where strange talents afflict
those who visit it. Will you be able to strike the ultimate blow and
make a fortune with your associates? Will you become one of the names
that inspire awe and fear in the Astral Plane? Can you survive the
Golden Scissors?
A game of balance and risk
On each roll, players will assign dice to their Astral Self and Ego, allowing them to successfully undertake actions and affect the integrity of their silver cord. Neglecting the delicate balance that allows them to remain in the astral plane may lead to the end of their story, leaving their companions in a delicate situation: waking up before their time, or worse, dying and becoming a deadly specter.
