...darkness drips from the silence that settles over the gutters...

With your hard hat pulled down over your face, you walk the filthy, stoned streets of London. The fog slowly covers everything and won't let the sickening stench of the city leave. A stench that always seems to smell of blood in the dark of night. Or do you bring it with you from the crime scene? Another murder. "Don't let those poodle-penny rags get hold of this! We're not short of another ripper or similar bogeyman to undermine the reputation of the corps."
Even the memory of the scene turns your much-tried stomach. "Who? No too, What could do such a terrible thing? Maybe we should call him? I don't know which is worse... I need a drink."

The game transports you to London in the 1890s, where gruesome and strange murders are taking place, attracting the attention of some suitably strange creatures. You can be one of them, helping or hindering the police's work in the dark. How? The game combines the freedom of tabletop role-playing with the chilling elements of LARP.

Who is it for? Come if you like tabletop role-playing but are not an experienced LARP player! Come if you're confident on LARP ground but not a master of fireballs! And come if you're in between. But most of all, come if you've never played one of these before and want to get a taste of a mystical and creepy story from the dark side.
