Sofia H. ★★★★★

The Roaring 20s setting is dripping with atmosphere, and the sanity mechanic actually makes my players sweat every investigation choice. Combat moves fast once you learn the dice pools, though I did bookmark the reference tables for the first few sessions.

Daniel K. ★★★★★

The sanity mechanic actually makes my players sweat every roll, which is exactly what I wanted from a horror game. Character creation took us maybe twenty minutes, and the 1920s flavor text on nearly every page kept everyone in the mood all night.

Hazel G. ★★★★★

The 1920s setting really comes through in the flavor text, and I love how the mechanics push the story forward instead of slowing it down. Ran my first session last weekend and my players were hooked by the second scene. The book itself is gorgeous too, thick pages and art that pulls you right into
