The Cosmic Wayfarer
The Book Where YOU
Are The Space Hobo !

This hybrid of an interactive book, board game, and role-playing game challenges the laws of world literature, set in a dystopian future brimming with philosophical themes, dark humor, science fiction, and epic fantasy. With just a touch of Lovecraftian horror, and other things. Yes, because YOUR choices will influence numerous elements, including the very genre of the story itself. Do you think it could become a confusing mishmash?

Welcome to Clochard Corp

​Clochard Entertainment is the passion project of a single man who has nothing left to lose. As a result, no compromises are made when it comes to designing books, gamebooks, role-playing games, board games, and sometimes even music or indie films.

​

The goal is to offer some sort of dualism in every work. In the literary field, it’s the balance of themes, or even opposing genres, which can collide; sometimes with the help of the reader. In the audiovisual field, nostalgia is almost always found hand in hand with experimentation.

​

And sometimes, only sometimes, all these worlds come together, creating hybrid and multimedia experiences.

This space-themed background with stars enhances the beauty and epic feel of the Clochard Corp website and its subdivisions—Clochard Entertainment, Clochard Games, and Clochard Music. Simone Memmo, the creator of these, writes the best Italian science fiction books, available for download in PDF format (ITA), although physical copies can also be purchased. In addition to writing adventure, action, dark humor, retro and vintage space opera/comedy, absurd, satirical, and dramatic novels and short stories, he creates Italian board games and role-playing games, as well as Il Viandante Cosmico, an Italian solo or multiplayer dice-based gamebook.
This is the Burden, or Bindle Stick: the inventory system within the hybrid gamebook, board game, and role-playing game called Il Viandante Cosmico or The Cosmic Wayfarer. Within it, the wanderer—whether playing solo or multiplayer—can store their Tools of the Trade, which include weapons and armor, key items, and other useful gadgets for solving puzzles, engaging in combat, and everything else needed to complete their space adventure.

Game Features

• 2080 adventure sections enriched with unique reading and combat mechanics, unlike anything in the world. The longest and most replayable gamebook ever will soon be translated into ENGLISH!

​

• Optionally, typical board game and/or role-playing game systems can be implemented. This way, you can play solo or even in multiplayer.

​

• Solving creative puzzles, conversing with strange aliens, choosing your own path, facing incredible challenges and monsters—these will shape many elements of your space odyssey, including progression, the epilogue, character behavior, literary genre, and soundtrack. If you wish, you could listen to the aforementioned music wherever the text indicates.

​

• Dozens of planets to explore, optional dungeons, and spine-chilling conspiracies. It will be up to you to decide whether to use aggression or diplomacy (sometimes, you might employ an elaborate system of insults if you prefer a middle ground).

Further Descriptions

The cover of Byte-Kid & Sho Time: In Search of the Lost Pension, a comedic and satirical story set in space. A road trip, or road movie, in essence—only this time in physical or virtual format, all ready to be read.

A small but sadistic little robot, unwilling to work, plans a scheme to retire early... Who would have thought that, to succeed, it would have to get involved with cosmic horrors, ruthless tribal civilizations, or the even more dangerous stupidity of organic species?

I must possess it.
This is Byte-Kid (don’t you dare call him Bytekid or, worse yet, Byte Kid with a space between), a robot from the Phaneron galaxy characterized by a witty, cynical, and fatalistic philosophy. Along with his "not-so" friend Sho Time, the two will travel through space in search of riches and cough medicine. One of the most absurd and fun stories, told through either a physical or digital book.

A mass of blood and entrails that seems to have emerged from some horror and science fiction tale by H.P. Lovecraft. This illustration of terror and madness embodies the very essence of Larvatamente, the book by Simone Memmo written for Clochard Entertainment. A series of unsettling micro-stories or flash fiction in the mystical and esoteric genre, filled with psychology and philosophy. Undoubtedly one of the best books ever written in Italy. Ghost stories in the Italian style, paranormal phenomena, sightings of mythical and sci-fi cryptids, analog horror, and classic horror merge at the peak of the tragic and dramatic.

100 pages, 100 stories. A handy collection of flash fiction for those in a hurry, yet still demanding uncompromising storytelling. Get your mind blown away by thought-provoking insights, surprise endings, and the constant subversion of clichés...

I must acquire it.
The icon of a biomechanical gas mask, seemingly from some nightmare or feverish dream of Lovecraft. Inside the metal visor, worms and other disgusting conglomerations writhe. This is the promotional image for Larvatamente, a collection of flash fiction or micro-stories written by Simone Memmo for Clochard Entertainment. With a surreal, dystopian, psychological, philosophical genre, and filled with thriller elements, conspiracies, and evolutionary speculation, this book is only for the bravest.

It’s a graphic render created with the Bryce 3D software, which adds a vintage and retro touch to what would otherwise be a depraved game between writer and reader. The writer sets the scene for the user who finds a classified file, and the reader must immerse themselves in it, breathless, for pages and pages. This series of short stories aims to alienate hope regarding the future and to make the reader reflect on how everything could have a tragic and dramatic end. Advice for Purchases in the Restless Land is this and more: a subversion of clichés, a story of political conspiracies and intrigue, multinational conspiracies, dangerous products and services, a continuous prompt for reflection on a world that is far from surreal and dystopian, because, in reality, all this horror is very much like the present day. Psychological, philosophical, and satirical, this is one of the best Italian books.

You, the reader, discover a top-secret document that mirrors the multifaceted scandals of Pluto, the fifty-first state of the USA. This cauldron of criminals in suits and ties comes up with all sorts of schemes involving products and services that, in one way or another, will cost dearly for those who receive them—not just in monetary terms...

I must obtain it.
This profile of an android or cyborg, part alien and part humanoid, is the icon used for Advice for Purchases in the Land of Restlessness, or as it was previously called, Advice for Purchases in the Land That No Longer Sleeps. This collection of short stories carries a surreal, psychological, philosophical, thriller, and above all, conspiratorial tone. Many are the conspiracies hidden behind the dealings of megacorporations and cult-like figures who sell products and services to unsuspecting customers through subliminal and deceptive advertisements. In reality, those who purchase will have to face a tragic or dramatic future.

MEGAPEDE – Worlds of Wax is an Italian board game in book-game format, or gamebook. It is not strictly a work of narrative fiction, but rather a hybrid between a dungeon crawler and a wargame, offering pure strategy and tactics. This board game is affordable and travel-friendly, suitable for both solo play / solitaire and cooperative multiplayer with up to four players. The theme is science fiction and Lovecraftian horror, with nods to the classics of the 1970s and 1980s. This image, therefore, is the cover art of Megapede: Worlds of Wax, written by Simone Memmo for Clochard Games.

Thick humps of giant chitin loom over the rooftops of houses already ablaze, and from the ashen shroud of smoke a swarming mass of bristly legs can be glimpsed. Driving people into panic is also an astonishing event, as the segmented colossus crushes two bastions under its own weight, in perfect synchrony… Gorda City in the northern hemisphere, and Dyna Town in the southern one. Where does it come from, and what is it seeking?!

I must receive it.
The image depicts a space astronaut helmet smeared with blood. It is the logo of MEGAPEDE – Worlds of Wax, a gamebook or book game featuring board game–style mechanics of the wargame and strategy variety, with the additional possibility of integrating role-playing and card game modes. In this Lovecraftian science fiction and horror setting, from a single solo player up to four players are deployed on maps as if they were skirmish missions; they then plunge into the heart of dungeon crawler–style battles, hoping that survival and stealth remain on their side throughout the journey.

THE ONLY CORPORATION THAT IS REALLY NOT A CORPORATION. AT ALL.

Clochard Corp. encompasses the subdivisions of Clochard Entertainment for books, videos, and web series, Clochard Music for the composition of soundtracks, Clochard Games for board games, role-playing games and gamebooks. This gives the impression of large-scale professionalism, even though it is a farce. In truth I'm alone and an idiot.

Nostalgia and traditions are innovatively blended with a revolution in storytelling. For instance, with multimedia interactive novels, among the most beautiful and original written in the world, where the literary genre, plot, and ending change based on the choices of the player or players. The adventure is, in fact, single-player or multiplayer. It offers significant replayability and longevity; this is the case for The Cosmic Wayfarer: The Book Where YOU Are a Space Bum. Other stories are experimental in the pure sense of storytelling and touch on genres such as surreal, subliminal, uncanny valley, analog horror, liminal spaces, psychological, philosophical, and so on.

My soul, fragmented for pocket change

If you do the math, you might notice that, as a person, I am worth only a few coins. If, however, we set aside the sum of the parts and focus on the individual components, we would also notice that they conceal a greater value. In fact, they are years and years of dedication compressed into a few bytes, a constant passion that, unfortunately, is sold off cheaply to adapt to changing times. In that sense, you may in fact prefer established authors, read other genres, or not read at all; in any case, I thank you for stopping by and hope that you can at least enjoy yourself down there in the forum, or perhaps on the blog as well.
