The overnight flight from New York to Birmingham International is always a bit disconcerting. You board in the USA late at night, and doze off, only to wake two hours later to the light of dawn breaking across the UK. Your senses tell you it’s morning. Your body protests.
You’re hardly in a fit state to face an experience so unexplained and mind-numbing that it rocks the very core of your existence…….
A claustrophobic pyschological horror mystery. No tentacles (unless you bring your own.) In the vein of Constantine, The Ninth Gate, Source Code and The Langoliers.
Played using my own The Code of Cthulhu rules. But that’s pretty irrelevant – they’re easy enough to pick up and it’s the experience that makes this adventure so immersive. Low budget psychological stuff laced with black humour.
Unsettling. Challenging. Mysterious and Fun.
