This adventure in the series is based around the characters investigating the circumstances of an increasing number of citizens being found in a catatonic state. There are plenty of clues to follow up initially with many more appearing as the investigation progresses. More NPC's and key city figures are introduced with amazing detail and most of the areas of the city not previously visited in the last adventure are passed through in this one.

While there is a little more combat in this chapter it is still focused more on skills, abilities and roleplay rather than a straight hack 'n' slash with a great mechanic thrown in to simulate a a chase through a crowded city, think the opening scene in Casino Royale or the chase in Point Break (the good Keanu version) or any of the pakour videos on youtube. With a massive twist at the end worthy of Hitchcock.

The two things I really loved about playing this adventure were firstly the darkening tone and the ever increasing insanity. As a big Cthulhu fan this really worked for me and there are definite Lovecraftian like tones winding through the narrative. Secondly it turns the common concpets of "good" and "evil" on thier heads.
