About the game
The lamp is still lit. Nobody answers.
You wake on the road into Veil. A fence and a dark forest run down both sides. Four houses sit ahead. If you turn around, the river and a wooden gazebo are behind you. The lamp by the sign is still lit.
You came as an investigator, to find out why this town emptied. You took the job because your own family vanished from a winter wreck. The police said they died. The seats were empty, and there were no bodies.
Veil looks abandoned, then it looks wrong. Lamps flicker on a dead grid. Paper moves when there is no wind. Figures stand at the end of the road and are gone when you look straight at them. Search the houses, read what people left, and decide what you believe.
Features
What you’ll do
Notes, not markers
The people of Veil left scraps. They do not agree. The journal keeps what you have already read.
Stay awake, stay fed
Health, hunger, thirst, rest and a battery for the flashlight. Beds save. Some sleeps dream.
Three ways to be afraid
Relaxed, Intended, or Dread. Dread drains you faster and presses harder.
What you carry
A flashlight, later a headlamp, food, coffee, keys, pins, and an axe you can put away.
Your own pace
Mouse look, rebindable sprint, head-bob, brightness, and a paper map that fills in as you find the landmarks.
