Gothic horror
Eclipsa
Some doors were sealed for a reason.
Gothic horror about old houses, blood debts, forbidden rites, family secrets, haunted inheritances, civilized rooms hiding terrible histories, and darkness surviving behind respectable doors.
Overview
Eclipsa at the table
Eclipsa is a gothic horror game line about inheritance, secrecy, and the terrible pressure of the past. Its stories unfold in old houses, candlelit rooms, private chapels, locked gardens, family archives, and other respectable places where something has been carefully hidden.
The danger is not only that the dead remember. It is that the living have made arrangements with what should have stayed buried.
