The Eldritch Hack
"The Eldritch Hack" is an adventure toolkit for horror games that require minimal ruleset with simple d10 resolution skills and additional dangers like unpredictable random events (Damaage) depending on how well you roll or the Barn where time passes but never leaves. There are two mini- adventures included, as Cabin in Woods gets closer to your location by trees moving without explanation; "The Barren" is also a creepy atmosphere with no door entrance and smell of wood that keeps people from leaving until something happens causing them harm like accidents or natural disasters for example. As the player navigates through these spooky scenes, they must solve puzzles related to random events, make decisions based on their beliefs in supernatural phenomena (such as ghosts), learn about a mysterious figure known only by his voice and find clues leading towards an unknown goal while uncovering some of humanity's deepest fears -- but ultimately will lead them out alive. The main character is given one-shot at the Barn where time moves differently, so they must make choices based on their beliefs in supernatural phenomena or get a second shot to survive it and complete this adventure before getting back home while facing danger from unpredictable random events like natural disasters that may appear during the game's storyline.
