Life in Clodsbury, England was normal. Until a break-in happened at the small town's bar, and an increasingly odd series of events occured. Then normalcy began falling apart.

The separation between our world and the next is fragile, and this series of short stories chronicles how secrets not intended to be known by any, were uncovered.
"The Shape of Madness" is a grotesquely tortuous web of lies, secrets, and ancient mysteries. Learn the truth, and engulf yourself in a mystery set in the 1890's.

"We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far."
― H. P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu
