Eldritch Corporate Horror, from the comfort of your home!

Hello [prospective employee],
We're so glad you are interested in a Work-from-Home Eldritch Horror Experience from Blackwood Industries! You and your fellow remote-workers will be cut off from the rest of the world with your only connection being your work group chat. Work together to overcome the challenge of an ever-encroaching dark entity, or fail alone, isolated, and trapped. We hope you enjoy it!
Sincerely,
Blackwood Management 




"WFH (worry fear horror)" combines the horror of eldritch atrocities and the horror of loneliness with the horror of having to work together with your co-workers on a group project.
Players will communicate solely over text chat, while their GM (general manager) draws cards to determine what atrocities befall the workers. Gameplay spans over approximately 90 minutes.
This game deals heavily with themes of isolation and loss-of-reality, please ensure the comfort of all players before proceeding.
