Quotes (from this video)
- This is a crowdfunding preview, so all the art and components you see here are not final. These are prototypes.
- The base game's strongest asset was the story deck, and the expansion brings four new story decks into the game.
- These are designed to deepen the story and introduce unexpected challenges.
- Well there you have Sally Face Strange Nightmares Corruption and as I showed in the overview, there's new story decks each with their own items, mysteries, stories, and finales keeping things fresh with some of the stories coming with their own boards and a new set of mechanisms.
