Bleak Techniques is a 70-card deck inspired by Oblique Strategies, created by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt in 1975. Like its predecessor, it comprises prompts and constraints designed to help those working on creative projects to overcome blocks.

The instructions in Bleak Techniques, written as haiku, maintain a nihilistic outlook equal parts humorous, depressing, and thought-provoking.
