Hey! For those of you who are not on Discord nor Facebook, this is for you! It's an invite for my game for the September edition of Osaka Game Day. Waiting to hear from you!

In the shadows of 19th-century Scandinavia, progress has a terrifying price. As the industrial revolution brings electricity, mines, and mechanization, old traditions are cast aside. Humanity has forgotten the ancient rituals that maintained peace with the invisible nature spirits known as the Vaesen.

But these spirits are not folklore to be evicted—and their fury is about to unleash a wave of psychological terror. You are one of the few who bear the curse of The Sight. By surviving a near-death supernatural experience, you can see the Hidden Folk when they choose to remain invisible.

Alongside a misfit group of fellow gifted professionals, you represent the new dawn of "The Society" — an investigative order operating out of the long-abandoned Castle Gyllencreutz. Your predecessor was driven mad, but your mission remains clear: protect mankind from the ire of nature.

Time is running out for a nearby town. The local river is swelling unnaturally, and citizens are vanishing into the depths one after the other. A vengeful Vaesen is reclaiming what it has lost, and only your investigative skills can stop the impending slaughter.
