Grey Point, Massachusetts · October 1926

The Drowned Dawn

Tales of the Empty Boats

The boats come back… With no crew.

The catch is still on the boats in the harbour. The fishermen are not… And in Grey Point nobody asks where they went anymore. Nobody but you: by day you investigate, by night you survive. The longer it goes on, the higher the price: choose how much of your mind to leave behind.

Go down

The boats come back to harbour.

No one at the helm.

No one on board.

The game

How to survive

REAL GAMEPLAY

By day

The island lies. You take notes.

On the map of Grey Point every district has its own fear and its own share of the cult. Actions are few, the tide won't wait. Choose where to look, whom to send, which room of Hale House to put back together.

Districts that change while you investigate
A headquarters to rebuild: infirmary, laboratory, records, shooting range
Suspects, clues, deductions. Then the handcuffs.

REAL GAMEPLAY

By night

Two actions. Then it's their turn.

Four investigators at most. Each one moves, shoots, kicks in a door, opens a drawer. Then the fog moves. And inside the fog someone has already seen where you are.

15 hand-built maps: the harbour, the inn, the church, the wreck, the lighthouse
Clues, civilians to get out, objectives that change in the middle of the night
Cover, doors, floors, stairs, fog of war

REAL GAMEPLAY

The mind

Every power has a price. You pay in sanity.

Shaken. Cracked. Broken. The more the mind crumbles, the wider the Veil opens and the stronger the power. So do the breakdowns. Stopping in time is a choice. Not stopping, sometimes, is the only one.

Eight investigators, eight trades, eight ways to break
Traumas that stay. Portraits that change.
Whoever is lost completely doesn't come home.

REAL GAMEPLAY

Explore

Whoever opens the wardrobes comes back with the truth.

A letter at the bottom of a trunk. A ledger with a torn-out page. A photograph that shouldn't exist. Those who run for the exit come back alive. Those who stop to look come back with something worse: the answer.

Letters, newspapers, ledgers, photographs to read
Illustrated stories between chapters
Secrets that change the ending

Hale House.

This is where you come back at night.

Not always the same.

The Hale Agency

None of them is ready.

At first there are two of you. Elena Moretti, a journalist nobody wants to publish. Jack Doyle, an ex-policeman afraid of water, on an island. Dr Crane arrives after the first night, to stitch the wounds. Father Ashworth, when you knock at the church. Four more, later on. Each of them has something to lose.

What the sea gives back,

the sea takes again.

The boats are already in the harbour.

The first chapter begins in Boston, at eleven at night, in an empty newsroom. On the desk there's a folder the editor has turned down three times.
