You know, Vermin 2047 is about the Collapse and the destruction of our ecosystem. Here in Europe, we are already feeling the first signs of the Collapse: heat domes, intense lightning storms, and some political instability as a result.
It has been more than 35 years since the IPCC warned us about everything we needed to hear and prepare for, but no one has been listening, as always. So what comes next? I fear that sun-mutated vermin will soon erupt in waves from the ground to devour us!
But luckily I have some good news, with the updated production planning: all the books are being printed as we speak, PDFs are finalized! The pledge manager will also open very soon, we are still working on it.
â PDFs finalized â The PDFs will be sent this fall, when the Pledge Manager will open!
âď¸ Pledge manager â Scheduled for Fall 2026: soon!
â Printing & production â Printing as we speak.
đ˘ Ocean freight â Scheduled for Late Autumn 2026.
đŽ Shipping to backers â Late Autumn 2026.
And here's a small preview of the game aids, a map of the Arizona scenario, by Moreno Paissan:
Finally, thanks again for your patience and your trust. Beware of the cursed sun, and prepare for the Vermin 2047 PDFs soon on your accounts!
Our team is finalizing the proofreading pass on the layout, it's a big endeavour so we had to take a little more time: PDF will be sent to you this summer, we're very sorry for that :) Of course, everything will be sent to the printer at the end of this month so things are progressing nicely, we're still aiming for autumn 2026 to send you the printed books.
In the meantime, here's an extract about Paris, post-Collapse. Hum, and I want to give you some details about the metro and how the climate change would transform Paris forever.
An extract of the Universe book
"I remember a railway line that ran along Seine. Underground. Ha ha. How crazy, when you think about it. Every year, it was closed in order to reinforce and fix up the enormous walls between the railway tunnel and the riverâs bed. Oh, the water infiltration was never that bad, but still, every year, over a month, âCastorâ maintenance was performed on the line.
Yup, they had to do it every year. You think they kept at it past the Great Night of 2028? It was already not so spick-and-span in the first place⌠I donât know if thatâs how it started going downhill, but it didnât help for sure. Imagine an entire river pouring down into a subterranean railway and subway network. More than twenty lines, interconnected with hallways to allow passengers from one to the other.
In the early 2000s, Parisâs underground had already turned into a giant Swiss cheese that architects had a tough time with, so you can imagine how it went after that⌠Stations millions of people used to go in and out of on a daily basis, completely flooded. By the way, the flow of Seine used to be a hundred thousand liters every second. And if that wasnât enough, thereâs been a âslightâ increase in the sea level over the last few years.
Do you know why Seine used to be so famously snaking? Because it was already at sea level. Not enough elevation difference to flow straight. So when the waves came in, yep, they went all the way from Rouen to Paris. And so, getting back to my previous subject, a few million or billion liters of water filled the whole underground network: metro, RER, catacombs, mushroom beds, abandoned quarries, and who knows what else. With so much weight pressing down, no way that was all going to hold."
And now, the updated production planning:
đ§ PDFs finalized â Proofreading will be completed this month and the PDFs will be sent this summer!
âď¸ Pledge manager â Scheduled for Summer 2026.
âď¸ Printing & production â Scheduled for Summer 2026.
đ˘ Ocean freight â Scheduled for Autumn 2026.
đŽ Shipping to backers â Late Autumn 2026.
And if you want to visit Paris one day, try to do it before the rats and the floods ;)
It's time for a new update! This month we are integrating the last remaining corrections on the books layout. Then everything will be sent to our printer ;)
We need to push back the opening of the pledge manager to next month instead of May, because we need a bit more time to prepare the platform.
In the maintime, here is a new preview of one of the books about the communities in a post-apocalyptic country. It's from the Universe book:
"There was this silent, quiet, almost wise community. They didnât ask anything from me. I donât know what they wanted to trade. My tiredness, perhaps. I was exhausted, and my silence echoed theirs. No one asked me any questions. The fire was rising between the trees. Night was falling, slow, ponderous. It was an August night, but the August of now, too hot, dry, aggressive, nasty like an ember in your hand. And a little boy came, and they said his name, and it was the name of spring. He sang while the night was gnawing at everyone, all except for him and his voice like a broken birdâs, like split crystal, and his eyes the color of rain-sodden ash. There, he sang about the death of the day and the night that might never end. I think I cried.
I think."
Chilling, isn't it?
And now here's the updated production planning:
đ§ PDFs finalized â Editing will be completed soon!
âď¸ Pledge manager â We will open it when the PDFs are done, during June 2026.
âď¸ Printing & production â Scheduled for May/June 2026.
đ˘ Ocean freight â Scheduled for Autumn 2026.
đŽ Shipping to backers â Late Autumn 2026.
And remember: survival is never a solo endeavor, it is the strength of the community that will determine who endures.
April has arrived, and with it, spring. But what is spring when the climate has turned everything upside down in the year 2047?
In any case, our team is making progress, and after spending many weeks reviewing the layout of the books and accessories, we have reached a major milestone: we expect to send the files to the printer as early as next month. We need a bit more time to integrate the corrections, but we think we will be able to complete the files by May.
The spring season means more insects, more critters to harass and slowly kill you. Here is an excerpt from the Universe book about them:
Tiny monsters sent by The Parasite Totem
Here's the production planning:

Stay sharp, keep your gear close, and remember: in 2047, the smallest things are often the deadliest.
March is already here, and our team is continuing to work on the layout of the Universe book. I would like to share excerpts from the book that show how the Collapse unfolded.
The game presents not a sudden apocalypse, but a gradual collapse, more realistic, reflecting the tragic yet real-world theories of an end brought about by a combination of causes: ecological, economic, and military.
"Before, we loved to tell the hypothetical story of our own doom⌠We made movies, TV shows, songs about it. We felt the vibration⌠the call. We had a desire to disappear, to burn the bridges that connected us to our humanity, to forsake this shell of a society and return to an animal, raw, wild state. The idea felt romantic. The actual experience wasnât romantic at all. We were children in a burning schoolyard playing: âLetâs say weâre all going to die soonâŚâ
Those tales always went the same: an event, The Event, The Thing, The Catastrophe, The Cataclysm⌠you had to endure it, then once it had come and gone, the story was about rebuilding, a new balance, mankind patching its wounds, licking them like a young war hound itching to return to the fray. We always came out on top in these stories. We got high off our assumed success, our imagined resilience.
Thatâs not how it happened. At all. There was no single âEventâ. There were dozens, hundreds. And they are still happening⌠We never rose to the occasion like in the stories. We showed neither grit nor glory. We lied, wasted time, and made things worse. And balance never returnedâŚ"
Here's the production planning, it did not change since last month:
đ§ PDFs finalized â In layout.
âď¸ Pledge manager â We will open it when the PDFs are done, probably during May 2026.
âď¸ Printing & production â Scheduled for Summer 2026.
đ˘ Ocean freight â Scheduled for Autumn 2026.
đŽ Shipping to backers â Late Autumn 2026.
Watch out for the Vermin until next month, we need to hold on, my dear friends!
