A 56 page module compatible with the Mothership RPG (1E).
In Nietzsche's Demon the cargo ship Pharaon becomes entangled with a being that is native to hyperspace, creating a dual reality near an unstable worm hole. Soon, the wormhole collapses, destroying the Pharaon and creating a time loop. The characters wake up in their cryopods again, with their memories intact, and only a few hours to escape before they die again. And again.
This life as you now live it and have lived it, you have to live once more...
-Friedrich Nietzsche
