Who it's for

Cooperative groups who want Call of Cthulhu horror with real deduction and a strong sense of confinement.

Not for you if…

You want a light mystery evening – this is long, heavy horror with genuine ways to lose.

Vibe's take

Claustrophobic and creeping – a train has nowhere to run to, and every carriage you clear is one something can enter behind you.
