The adventure

About this quest

The city feels older tonight. Heavier. Like something has been waiting a very long time for someone to come asking.

You've been recruited by the Bureau of Otherworldly Observation, and Agent Howl is handing you your first case: a district full of the dead, and a file nobody has ever managed to close.

Thirteen stops. Thirteen things this city would rather you didn't look at too closely. Some of them are waiting for you.

The dead here were real people, and they remember what the plaques leave out. Ask the right questions and they'll tell you. Ask the wrong ones and you'll find out why the file is still open.

Keep your phone torch handy. You'll want it. 🕯️
