Miskatonic University: A Study in Madness.
The stars shine bright over Arkham, uncover secrets best left buried, for truth brings only madness. Can you survive the night? Update 9/8 Base version - Original release no scripts Update 11/17 script refinement, Ten Turn grace period, health and sanity points - BETA Script version - featuring a HEAVILY modified version of the Narrative Guidance Overhaul By Purplejump, my own pseudo map system written into the library and an automatic Authors Note set to update every five turns to adjust itself to the story you are telling. It activates on the Second Turn and updates every Five Turns. Welcome to the University City of Arkham, a sleepy New England town by the sea where all of H.P. Lovecraft's horror stories are happening at once. Imagine an Ivy League community that is also the epicenter of a supernatural plague. Arkham acts as a focal point—a 'locus'—where the veil between our reality and other, more terrifying dimensions is dangerously thin. Miskatonic University, with its library of forbidden books, is the heart of this weakness. Its relentless pursuit of knowledge has turned the city into a magnet for cosmic horror, ancient cults, and monstrous entities from beyond space and time. All the horrors are interconnected. Your goal is to explore this city, investigate its mysteries, and struggle to keep your sanity as you discover truths humanity was never meant to know. 8/25 Despite it's size it should be self contained enough for free players, but I suggest you delete everything below the dash in the AI Instructions. And limit the authors note to just the kind of story you want.
