Sworn by Ghostlight: The Ebon Wood Effigies
Sworn by the Spirit is a GM-less investigative RPG, designed for solo or co-op play over one to two sessions. It features an Occult Detective in Victorian London and investigates supernatural elements like ghosts, necromancy, unearthly beings, crimes, suspects, witnesses, criminal motives, means of opportunity, forensic science, evidence collection methods, interrogation techniques, witness interviews, crime solving approaches for the police investigation process with various clues to be found. The final reveal closes the case if all information gathered is utilized; however it can also remain open-ended in storytelling and exploration possibilities beyond this point depending on player choices made throughout the game's narrative path which may involve different villains or suspects related directly, indirectly through their motives (elements), means of opportunity to commit such crimes as weapons availability at hand with little forethought. The culprits are not predetermined but rather clues help create them in your mind during playtime and ultimately decide how they want you depict the killer's identity by playing creatively within the game system itself!
