Creating a diegetic Lovecraftian experience. No board, no dice, just the documents on your desk.

I’m running a small experiment in immersive storytelling.

I’ve played plenty of "Cryptic Killer" style games, but I wanted to strip away the "gamey" elements and focus purely on the narrative atmosphere. I wanted to make something that felt unsafe.

I am creating The Hollow Frequency. It is a physical mystery game where the story is told entirely through the contents of a classified envelope sent to your home. You assume the role of an Analyst handling a live, unfolding situation involving Lovecraftian science (no standard murder mystery stuff).

The Details: I am a solo creator in the UK. I’m currently printing and assembling a limited run of 12 Beta copies.

  • Status: Pre-order (Dispatched Dec 18th).
  • Region: UK Only.
  • Cost: £15.00.

I’m doing everything myself—writing, printing, and posting. I’d love to know if this format appeals to the IF community.
