Description

From publisher blurb:

On a lonely interstate late at night, one wrong turn can ruin your life.

The Woodside Motel is that turn.

Hidden away from civilization, a dark and cosmic entity has come to this place, being nurtured and fed as it grows in power. This entity is from beyond reality, with unknowable power and sway over mortal minds. In dreams, it whispers its name: Swineheart.

WHAT HAVE I STUMBLED INTO?

Simple systems that allow the adventure to unfold with increasing tension as time goes on, leveraging an event die, act changes, and an encounter table.
A detailed isometric map of the area.
17 locations, ranging from a blood-stained motel room to a drained swimming pool with a dark secret at the bottom.
Structured around usability at the table, with information available at the GM's fingertips right when they need it.
