Description

It is June of 1816, and five significant literary figures—Lord Byron, Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley, John Polidori, and Claire Clairmont—have gathered at Villa Diodati in Switzerland. Inclement weather keeps everyone confined indoors, so they decide to have a contest to see who can produce the best horror story. Play as one of these legendary individuals and try to complete your greatest work while avoiding the vagaries of cruel fate.

Notes

  • This game contains laser cut components. Laser cut items will have a slight amount of soot around the edges, which can easily be wiped off; and will have a campfire smell for about a week after you open them.
