- Game Description – 1933, somewhere in the Midwest. The small liberal arts college has perched atop the hillside in the middle of town for 100 years—a haven of learning amidst the crops and fields and hills. Its students are eager and full of promise, its faculty learned and worldly. Its graduates are doctors, politicians, and poets. But this Fall, something has changed. Shadows linger, and hang between the brick buildings in even the brightest day. Voices whisper, and breezes blow that seem not to touch the rows of corn or the arching maples. What darkness has come to campus? And will it come for you?
A BYOV Horror/Mystery. All people celebrated here—we have no tolerance for intolerance. Costumes welcome but not required.
