—description from the publisher

Despite its name, Terror Town RPG is not a role-playing game. The procedural, solitaire game is played in a series of turns, each turn presenting a challenge to overcome. If successful, a random die roll determines what the next turn will bring. The player starts with two pools of points - Escape and Life - which vary during play. Escape points are used to avoid certain situations; Life points are depleted by failure. If Life ever reaches zero, the game is lost - otherwise the game ends in success when the player escapes Terror Town.

The print-and-play game rules are presented in tiny typeface on a single page of paper; three pages of cut-out tokens also are provided.
