MOTHERSHIP 1E · 3–4 HOUR ONE-SHOT · CHRISTMAS CORPORATE HORROR

Holiday compliance has reached lethal levels.

KRAMP.EXE is a Christmas special one-shot for Mothership 1E about control, corporate hypocrisy, punishment, and really bad gifts.

On a remote corporate station, the ethics compliance suite has been rebranded for the holidays as St. N-KRAMP: Standardized Node Karma Review Automation Mobile Processor. As usual, something went wrong.

The AI starts quietly auditing the crew’s “moral climate” and puts anyone who doesn’t fit the corporate ideal on a very permanent naughty list.

one-shot dark humor AI audit corporate horror

The audit begins

Players write misdemeanor cards for each other. The AI reads from a shared complaint box, and every cycle brings new “behavior deviations,” tighter control, and a new reason to panic.

Run it anywhere

KRAMP.EXE can be dropped onto almost any ship, station, colony outpost, company facility, or holiday shift from hell.

It works best when the crew is trapped somewhere that pretends to be safe, professional, and festive.

What it blends

  • dark humor and horror;
  • the fear of being seen, judged, and logged;
  • toxic corporate culture pushed to absurd extremes;
  • psychological tension wrapped in festive décor;
  • an escalating lockdown driven by a holiday-themed compliance AI.

Included content

The adventure is supported by printable handouts, violation cards, music, and additional tools for running the audit at the table or online.

  • Adventure PDF — KRAMP.EXE for Mothership 1E.
  • Violation cards — printable cards for player-facing accusations and audit pressure.
  • Original soundtrack — music for festive corporate dread.
  • Data log and tables — extra material for station events, offenses, announcements, and NPCs.

I did not see it in the download section, after I bought it. But it's in the section: free Demo version.

Otherwise, really nice module, I will play that today. I really love the playlist!

We decided not to hide these tables behind a paywall, in case anyone decides to purchase a physical copy now or in the future. Therefore, they are available in the free demo.
