Fairyland Confidential
A downloadable game
“It was a fairyland case. I hate fairyland cases. Once magic gets involved in a case, you never know what is real and what is illusion. Who is acting on their own free will? Who’s been enchanted? It’s always a mess to sort out. But no matter how much I swear off the faerie cases, I always get drawn back in to another one.”
Fairyland Confidential is a game that mashes up the genre conventions of film noir with the legends and stories of fairy folklore. It’s a roleplaying game for one player. You’ll need a deck of regular playing cards (with jokers), two dice of different colors, a set of these rules, a victim sheet, a crime sheet, and some way to take notes. It should take you 30 minutes to an hour to play.

This was super fun and super evocative :) The attention to detail in the mechanics and the probabilities really shines through. I wanna make homebrew cases so I can keep playing for a long time
The game is definitely made to be modular, so you could create new cases very easily by following the model of the existing ones.
If you do create anything like that, I'd love to see it.
I had a blast playing Fairyland Confidential. The most recent episode of my "narrative-play" podcast brings my character's story to life.
Thank you!
Wow, this is really cool. The voice actors and the film noir soundtrack really do good work to hit that proper noir tone.
Thanks for listening!
This is a brilliant game with good mechanics. Definitely worth checking out if you are a fan of noir.Thank you for the kind words and the actual play recording!
