Where Mystery Dwells

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

This is a narrative solo & duet Zinequest 2021 game, brought to you by the magic of Kickstarter crowdfunding.

It is a procedurally generated catacomb crawl through a candlelit world of stone and skulls beneath a just-slightly-fantastical industrial city, where eccentric patrons insist upon shining the heavy, noxious electric arc lamps of progress, carried on the backs of poorly-paid apprentices, on ancient mysteries, and those mysteries retaliate with obsession and madness.

It has custom cyclic rules, inspired by Blades in the Dark and The Skeletons, for a narrative solo or duet experience where a player plays the apprentices balancing their own survival against their need to curry favor with their patron.

It also has system-agnostic tools for generating a (probably) unending crawl through vaguely disturbing, darkly whimsical catacombs, methods for creating a vibrant, haunted city to return your tattered band to, a threat and miserable encounter generator for along the way, and tools to inspire a cast of characters in proper sly quasi-Victorian style.

The higher DPI pdf files are suitable for home printing (though you'll need a robust stapler, or google sealemon's saddlestitch tutorial on youtube, it's easy and rewarding). The print option is softbound.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
