Chasm Below
“A cursed bloodline leads you beneath a forgotten temple, where the dark is waiting for its old debt to be paid.”
The premise
Descend beneath a forgotten temple into a stone labyrinth where every corridor seems to breathe, shift, and remember your family name.
You came to break the curse on your bloodline, but the deeper path may demand more than courage. Read the runes, guard your sanity, and decide how much of yourself you will risk before the slumbering nightmare wakes.
Who you are
Long ago, an artifact from these depths cursed your bloodline. You return to end the curse and reclaim your family’s honor, carrying inherited fear, fragments of ancestral memory, and just enough occult knowledge to know the temple is not truly dead.
Your objective
Banish the slumbering nightmare before it awakens and engulfs the surface.
The kind of choices you'll face
A few illustrative examples — in play, choices are written for the exact situation you're in:
- Light a torch and carefully descend the steps.
- Inspect the odd markings carved into the tunnel walls.
- Gather your courage and push into the suffocating darkness.
And when none of the options say what you actually want to do, write your own action — the story responds to it just the same.
