(More info below) NEW MAP -Added new map "Innsmouth" the cursed fishing village The players are tasked with lifting a strange curse that plagues village, a curse so strong, it breaks any light the cultists would use to defend themselves! Initially devoid of otherworldly beings, the village remains unsafe as a horde of sea creatures will emerge from the depths to stop you from completing your task. Since direct confrontation with the creatures is not an option, you must proceed cautiously, moving diligently and seeking hiding spots when necessary. We intend for innsmouth to be a more slow pace…
