Re: Midnight Horrors: A Story of Shatered Lives
This is a game about every day (well not every day they have PC stats) humans who are exposed to mysterious forces they do not understand and have the vale lifted from there eyes by it showing them the world in witch they live as it truly is for the first time. The shocking realizations that monsters are everywhere, and they are the ones in charge. But while they can see this now there friends, there family, there loved ones remain in the dark and little they can do will prove to them what they now know... even if they could they would be putting the people they cared about in danger.
Image finding out that the conspiracy nuts are right, how can you handle that... everyone is just going to think you have gone nuts too! Who could look at you with a strait face if you told them there is a secret organization of supernatural being running the world? Who would believe you if you told them they put things in almost everything we eat, drink, smoke, and the like that make us sick, give us cancer, in attempts to make us into monsters too... monsters they can control.
It sounds nuts to you, and you know it's true!
Perfectly normal humans having there lives turned upside down and forced to live double lives, there only solace in others like them..... and the fact what ever force opened there eyes gave them gifts.
Gifts that let them deal with these monsters on there terms. Rather it be to investigate them, console them, try and restore there humanity, judge them for there sins, beat them to a bloody pulp, or burn there dreams to ash.... what ever power that decided to open there eyes gave them what they needed, and continues to do so.
So they are shown the truth, given the tools they need, the only question is what are they going to do about it?
The hunt has many paths, but it calls out to all of them.
It's like that overly famous quote from the matrix: "You take the blue pill -- the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill -- you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."
The sad thing is, these sad saps don't get a blue pill.... they have to live powerless to help with what they know if they turn away from the call.
