Underfoot

It's the little things that make a big difference, and nobody knows that better than the  Brownies, Fairies, and Sprites living in the House, the Garden, and the Woods Beyond.

Underfoot is a rules-light, three-stat tabletop RPG where you play as a fey trying to navigate the topsy-turvy world you call home. With your Storyteller's guidance and 2-5 friends, you'll be able to go on stealth missions for scarce materials, commune with forces of nature, and make mischief to your heart's content- just don't get caught by the Giants you share a home with! Your diminutive size may be a strength, but it is also your greatest vulnerability. 

Play as a Brownie, Fairy, or Sprite- each fey species possesses a specific skill set tailored to the environment they thrive in! You'll be able to go boldly where no fey has gone before as a Voyager, harness the chaos that comes with Pixie Dust as a Mage, and train to protect your community as a Guardian. 

If you're a fan of The Secret World of Arietty, Pixie Hollow, Fraggle Rock, or the Spiderwick Chronicles, then this game is right up your alley!

Underfoot is Ella Carter's senior thesis project, and was released on June 1st, 2025. You can follow development through this page, her website or her instagram! No generative AI was used in the making of this game.
