n the fog-shrouded port town of Arkham, Massachusetts, 1925, investigators are summoned by a frantic historian after a rare manuscript—the Crimson Codex—vanishes from the Miskatonic University archives. The trail leads to a decaying estate owned by the reclusive Lowell family, where whispers of forbidden rituals and a bloodstained altar hint at cosmic horrors lurking beneath the surface. As clocks tick toward the next lunar eclipse, players must unravel a web of occult secrets before an ancient entity awakens to claim the town as its own. This 3–4 hour scenario emphasizes investigation and psychological tension, with minimal combat. Designed for 3–5 novice investigators, it includes pre-generated characters and handouts for immersive play. Perfect for a chilling one-shot game night!
