Edward ★★★★★

The 1920s setting comes through in every chapter, and the pulp-era gear and investigation rules make it easy to drop players straight into a haunted mansion. Character creation took my group maybe twenty minutes, which is fast for a game this atmospheric.

Harper L. ★★★★★

The sanity mechanic is genuinely stressful in the best way — every bad roll makes you feel like your investigator is one step from cracking. I ran my group through the introductory scenario and we were hooked by the second hour.

Steven ★★★★☆

The 1920s setting really comes through in the art and flavor text, and the sanity mechanics feel fresh compared to other horror games I've run. My only gripe is that the index is a bit thin, so I found myself flipping around a lot during our first session. Still, worth it for the atmosphere alone.
