Fears and Fathoms
This book is a rules framework inspired by classics like Call of Cthulhu as much as they are new faces such as Blades in the Dark or Apocalypse World's systems. The game involves rolling dice to have discussions with the Keeper about what can and cannot be done, set consequences that might affect investigators' equipment, energy health, sanity, time spent playing character development over strange coping mechanisms for those branded by Strange curses forever keeping them from a normal life story driven system where players take control of their narrative. The game is simple yet complex in its mechanics with tips available to GMs and also an introductory mystery generator as well as randomness options within the writing prompts given out along
