HEAVY AS STONE

HEAVY AS STONE is a gripping investigative horror RPG set against the backdrop of 1920s prohibition-era America, drawing inspiration from Robert W. Chambers’ The King in Yellow. Players step into the shoes of Amir, a life insurance adjuster grappling with a mysterious affliction that is increasingly spreading through the town of Terminal.

Your mission is to investigate the circumstances surrounding the deaths of your clients, who are either deceased or missing. Utilize your case book to locate pivotal scenes and weave a coherent narrative from the chilling revelations about the town and its enigmatic residents. Each decision you make shapes your reality, leading to tangible consequences.

As you navigate the perilous streets, be wary of Terminal’s dark underbelly, rife with bootleggers and cult-like followers of the yellow sign. The disease known as the "yellow wound" presents various morphing symptoms and hallucinations, complicating your investigative endeavors. Adaptation becomes crucial as you develop Afflictions that affect your navigation and perception of the world around you.

With death being a mere transition back to reality, you will uncover the intricate ties binding each case to your own fateful journey. Explore the weight of your choices and unveil the sinister truths that lie beneath the surface.
