Three possible beginnings
Each planned solo adventure begins with a different kind of decision. You will not need to know the original stories to enter; readers who do know them will recognize the places, clues, and questions behind these doors.
Someone has left you a dossier whose separate pieces should never fit together. A death, a dream, a ship, an object dredged from the wrong place: decide which lead deserves your trust and who should hear what you find.
Your first question: which witness do you believe?
Adventure in development
You arrive with a reason to ask questions. The tide changes, the road home becomes uncertain, and the people you meet have reasons of their own to keep you there. Learn what the town protects, and decide whether escape is enough.
Your first question: who can help you leave?
Adventure in development
A polar expedition stops answering. The search leads beyond the safe route, toward ruins that alter every assumption you brought with you. Supplies, companions, evidence, and the journey back all matter.
Your first question: what will you risk to learn more?

These paths draw from Lovecraft's original fiction. The planned adventures would give your character choices and a continuing record of what you learn and change. The source text remains the source; your play would be its own history.
Source links open Project Gutenberg. The playable adaptations and their final rules are still being developed.
