Released in 2020 by Free League Publishing (creators of Mutant: Year Zero , Forbidden Lands , Alien RPG ), Vaesen is based on the artwork and writings of Swedish illustrator Johan Egerkrans. The game is set in a 19th-century Gothic Scandinavia, where players investigate folklore creatures (vaesen) like trolls, näcken, and church grims. The system uses a modified Year Zero Engine, focusing on mystery, horror, and player-driven base-building (the Castle).

. While many roleplaying games focus on the "monster of the week," Vaesen succeeds by positioning its supernatural entities—the vaesen—not just as enemies, but as tragic symptoms of a world forgetting its roots.
