Abscondita Mundi

Welcome dear researchers!

We're happy to have you with us. It is time for your research team to start a new project. We have heard some rumours, but these are yours to investigate. So what will it be? Floating lights in the nearby town, a new rumour of Al Hazred's Necronomicon or perhaps a new sighting of La Chupacabra? 

Your team is ready and waiting, so let's not wait any further. A hidden world awaits!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Abscondita Mundi the players take role of researchers of the paranormal, the secretive and the unknown. As researchers, the players will write letters (or e-mails if your game is set in the digital age) describing the details of their shared investigation. With each letter or e-mail, more details will be added to the case, and as you progress through the game you will create your very own lore about the topic of your study, be it a infamous cryptid, UFO's or cursed objects and ghost sightings.

As it is an epistolary game, no dice or character sheet are needed. Just you and a friend (or perhaps a whole group of researchers) is all you need to play.

The free-form however, does not mean that there is no structure to the game. The letters written by the researchers should follow certain structure, providing framework for the investigation and ensuring that the case progresses with each letter. With each response the details are fleshed out, not only providing your with further data to investigate but also building a shared lore of your research subject, whatever that may be.

Are you ready? A hidden world awaits!
