30) OBSCURE RPG you've played

2014 question was Rarest RPG Owned, so this is all new and all different!

I’ve played my share of obscure RPGs in my time, but thanks to a gaming week organised by a big indie system person, the winner may well be They Became Flesh, a game about God and Humanity affecting angels, where most of the players are said angels but two are God and Humanity.

Eight hours later, this page is the sixth Google result for “They Became Flesh” RPG, so yeah, bit obscure.


One word prompt

30) OBSCURE

In some RPGs the PCs are expected to be or become famous or even legendary figures. In others they can’t, or actively want to avoid attention. What systems are in place for each? For example, Vampire: The Masquerade makes its required obscurity the game’s subtitle, while the rest of the original World Of Darkness run all have supernatural ways to stay hidden and vampires don’t.
