Elizabeth J. ★★★★★

We finished our first session in under three hours, which never happens with a new system. The pre-gen characters are genuinely distinct and the intro scenario gives the GM enough to improvise without drowning them in lore.

Carter K. ★★★★★

The all-in-one box meant we could start playing the same night we opened it, no extra books or dice needed. The pre-made characters made it easy for two total newcomers to jump right into the mystery.

Leo ★★★★★

The pre-made character sheets saved our group a solid hour of setup on night one. We were rolling dice and creeping through the fog within twenty minutes. The included adventure hooks actually made my players argue about which lead to chase first.
