Revenant

On the night of the last harvest and the sanquine moon, the dead are free to roam the lands of the living and unleash a plethora of terror and dread. Damned are those whose path crosses theirs.

Long ago, the elders of the Bogwater village made a pact with a powerful ancient horror: a sacrifice of a small number of the denizens in its name in exchange of protection from the wraiths for the rest. This pact has always been kept secret from the common folk.

To ensure no villager would be forced to commit such atrocities on their neighbours, a particular outsider known only as Sickler is recruited to carry out the necessary evil.

To the ordinary people of Bogwater, they are just another REVENANT roaming the night of horrors.

• Sneak in the darkness
• Avoid the villagers
• Sickle down the haunts
• Blend into the shadows
• Sacrifice the offerings

For when the year dies, so does the clemency.
