As long as people have lived near this ancient, moldering forest, they’ve known something was wrong with it. Perhaps an ancient civilization used this fetid soil to entomb their dead; maybe a band of crusading knights slaughtered pagans during one of their arcane midnight rituals; it’s possible these towering trees hide a fissure in the very fabric of reality, an abyss you should not stare at, lest you glimpse a monstrous eye staring back.
When clueless visitors come to stay in the cabins around Dread Lake, they ignore the locals’ warnings, they mess around with the ancient talismans scattered among the trees, and they party. Oh, how they party. In this game, 2-4 players take the role of malevolent forces scheming to claw their way into the world. Players compete to corrupt these visitors to the Dread Lake Forest and increase their malign power to invoke an awakening and unleash their vile fury upon all mankind.
