“Wood Grows around the Walls of Mansus, as any student of histories knows, Mansus has no walls.”
A Narrative driven RPG set in the world of Secret Histories created by Weather Factory.
Maybe you are a common folk tired from your life. A desperate student who discovered something they shouldn’t have been or an investigator of occult phenomenon. Perform rituals of hidden gods, gain followers and enemies, lead expeditions to places consumed by the past, ascend to a higher place, although you can always go deeper. But remember,
'Mercy', saith the Watchman, 'is found only in shadow. '

Cryptic Verbose occult and horrific. In the game, player can choose to lower the difficulty but higher one is preferred, players will have to manage their Health, Sanity, Funds and Reputationif one of them drops below zero, the character will die, but the dead character may play a role in the next walkthrough. Players will have to use occult principles contained in each objects in correct proportions to perform rituals, talk to different people, walk their dreams or destroy obstacles on their way. And, experimentation should be rewarded.

All the descriptions must be long and intercut, but vague, mysterious and artistic while talking about occult. Secret gods of this world are called hours because each reign on one of hours of the day, there are 36 of them, some alive some dead, they live in the Mansus, the dream world, and each have their own domains and stories, and also principles tied to them. There is also a mysterious alien dimension outside of worlds’ skin, which is called Mansus or house of the sun. It can be accessed by those who dream using lores of moth/lantern/knock, by those who are dead, and by those who posses a special key, Mansus is where spirits and gods and dead exist and it is decided to many locations. In this world Five (possibly seven) parallel realities exist which we call histories, all of them have their own wake, but each shares the same Mansus, there are also billions of semi real histories who quickly die and appear. All histories began at the same point, and will end at the same point too. LIST OF GODS, VERY IMPORTANT. MOTH-[Principles: Moth. Domains: Chaos earning moth principle.
