A Lovecraft-flavoured investigation game about a vanished expedition in Egypt, driven by a nonlinear conversation system that lets you question anyone about any topic you have uncovered.
Who it's for
Groups who like narrative investigation and are happy to spend an evening deducing.
Not for you if…
You want mechanical decisions and replay value rather than a story played once.
Vibe's take
Slow-burning and atmospheric – long stretches of talking and cross-referencing, then a name clicks into place and the whole expedition reads differently.
