Description
-
A solo RPG using a simplified version of the Ironsworn system. Take on the role of an Occult Detective tracking a serial killer across a Victorian London inspired city beneath a cracked moon that bleeds Ghostlight onto the world, festering as ghosts, necromancy, and undeath.
Investigate locations & clues. Interrogate suspects & witnesses. Fend off assailants. Solve the investigation and close the case.
The culprit—their motive, means, & opportunity—are not predetermined in a Sworn by Ghostlight game. Rather, the clues you gather help you to envision them. When you feel you have all the information you need, make the final reveal & close the case.
