Things, Eldritch and Terrifying

Premise

There exist many terrible creatures beyond our mortal ken, which prowl the universe looking for new things to conquer, to own, to devour. They lurk beyond the edges of our plane, but that doesn't mean they don't see us.

They covet our world. They want to take it as theirs, but there is a locked door between their plane of existence and ours.

The way to overcome this is simple: convince someone on the other side to open the door and let them in.

What This Is

This is a game about eldritch terrors and temptation. It places an emphasis on extra-planar entities trying to use an alien skillset to interact with a human in an appealing manner. It is meant to be a horror game first, and is intended to let you explore the intersection between the terrifying and the seductive.

This is a GMless horror game for 2 or 3 players.
