Horror

Elder Sign: Omens distills the Lovecraftian horror of the source material into a tense dice-rolling game of cosmic dread. Players manage a team of investigators, each with unique skills, as they attempt to stave off an ancient evil. The game's core loop of managing limited resources, mitigating risk, and pushing your luck to succeed against overwhelming odds is what makes it so replayable.

About Elder Sign: Omens

Details
Something terrible has begun to awaken within our museum… a something unsatisfied with mere exhibition or human study, writhing with ancient evil and terrible purpose. An entity that must, at all costs, be prevented access to our world. From my studies, I am convinced that such dangers are not new to the human experience. The very fact that humanity survives to this day, I attribute to our forefathers' success in resisting the tormented realities beyond our own. Among the rarities I have been fortunate enough to uncover, one particular emblem seems significant. A symbol of purported resistive faculty and considerable power. They called it the Elder Sign.
