Eldritch Instinct
A downloadable game
Eldritch Instinct is an adventure game written by Linus Weber for one Warden and one or more players who act as investigators of the strange and unexplained. As a player, you will take on delusional cultists, hide from stalking shadows and face terrifying monstrosities.
Brace yourself for a blend of cosmic horror and adrenaline-pumping action in which you do the investigating, not your character. Hunt down forbidden knowledge in your quest to foil the sinister Mythos agenda.
Eldritch Instinct features:
- Procedures, tables and advice refined over three years of playtesting to facilitate immersive and suspenseful horror scenarios.
- Quick character generation with several random tables that includes meaningful relationships with other characters.
- 40 pages in A5 spread layout for convenient reference at the table available as Print-On-Demand on DriveThruRPG (as soon as it's approved).
- Free introductory scenario “Roadhouse Feast” (available separately).
- Character sheet by Francesco Zanieri / Licopeoart.

Hello! This game looks amazing! I just downloaded it and am devouring its contents. Looks like a fantastic blend of solid Cairn/Into the Odd mechanics and Lovecraftian cosmic horror ... right up my alley! Very excited to get this to my local gaming table!
He’s not lying. I got periodic messages from Mograg all day telling me how great this game looks! Should be fun when he runs it.
