An immersive experience for five people: one part murder mystery party, one part social deduction game, one part escape room.
The Story
For years, prominent members of The Dark Circle, an online goth cosplay club, have been disappearing -- stopping their online activity and cutting off all contact with no warning. For years, nobody has paid much attention.
This week, the world found out what happened to one of them. She's dead. Leaked police reports make mention of "ritual elements."
You, brave adventurer, are about to step up to club leadership in the aftermath of this disaster.
FAQ

At the end, we'll find out what happened. That's it!
