Wraith: The Oblivion is a role-playing game designed by Mark Rein??��Hagen. It is set in the afterlife of White Wolf Game Studio's classic World of Darkness setting, in which the players take on characters who are recently dead and are now ghosts. The game featured an artistically consistent depiction of the afterlife and strong emotional themes, but was the least commercially popular of the World of Darkness games. White Wolf discontinued their production of the game line in 1999, before having published all material that was originally planned.
Following the game's cancellation in 1999, White Wolf revisited some of Wraith's themes in their role-playing miniseries Orpheus. Their 2009 release, Geist: The Sin-Eaters, worked as something of a spiritual successor to Wraith the Oblivion. In 2011, online role playing game store DriveThruRPG.com began offering the Wraith the Oblivion books in a print on demand format through the DriveThruRPG web site, making all books available for purchase once again.
