Preview
It is said that the sun always shines on the peaks of Mount Ashkar. Centuries ago the Shah’s consciousness was interred in the sacred waters of the mountain cave, maintaining the sacred balance of the Empire, and keeping the evil spirits of Angra in check. You play four theurgists, traveling into the Shah’s dreams, and exorcizing an evil spirit which has infected the Shah’s consciousness. It is a game about dream logic, fear of the unknown, and about who has the responsibility for keeping the world order. It is set in a fictional science-fantasy empire, where sacred truths are hidden deep in machinery and code. It uses a push-your-luck system to see how the characters handle the exorcism, and what price they end up paying, but it is mainly about dreamlike descriptions, and the interplay between the characters.
