Notary Block

About This Game
The tubes are still on. The watchman is dead—the knife is still out.
Notary Block is a co-op suspense horror for three to ten players, set in a Hong Kong twin-tower public-housing estate rebuilt from a real block. Survive the blackout, use the estate itself as evidence, and walk out through the ground gate—only if you cross it yourself.
What you do
Residents: Pick up duty tools left around the block—hammers, screwdrivers, fuses, and the rest—and finish tonight’s chore list (open the estate map, fix TVs, the generator, and the scattered checks). Hide, search, and read what a body says about the weapon; report what you saw. There is no meeting or vote to open the gate. When the whole list is done, the watchman’s keys appear; take them to the ground gate and press E. Finishing your own chore does not mean you are out—you only count as gone when you walk through yourself.
Killer: Pick up the same duty tools as cover, move with the crowd, and strike when you get a chance. Limited strikes, hide or move bodies, plant items, cut the main power, camp the gate. You cannot take the watchman’s keys. The fewer residents who leave, the better your night.
How a round ends
The first resident through an open gate starts a forty-five-second sting. Then a personal night report for everyone: got out, died, or did not leave. The first escape does not end the table for everyone still inside.
The estate is the weapon
Grab and throw use real physics. Hidden bodies, blackouts, gated corridors, eyewitnesses and lies—accusations come from what happened on the floor, not from a case board. This is not stand-on-the-map-until-vote.
Who it’s for
Three to ten on voice. About twenty to twenty-five minutes per round. Traditional Chinese and English on the page; Cantonese-first in tone.
