Editorial Reviews

Review

This product sets itself apart from other Horror Rules because of the way everything interacts with the entire GUMSHOE system in a meaningful and immersive manner. The Risk Factors provide believable, character driven motivations for adventuring; Stability Sources provide opportunities for backgrounds that have meaning to the characters and affect them in a very real way; and the Psychic rules bring my first experience with a subtle use of powers that enhances creepiness and provides players with alternative avenues of information gathering and action (perfect for real world settings). --William Graham, rpgnow.com
