In This House - Obscure RPG Horror One-Shot [ EDIT ]
This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.
It's the year 1994. The house on 1307 Burkitt Street is infamous, surrounded in local gossip by rumors and urban legends about disappearances and hauntings. It has stood abandoned for well over a decade, yet no one seems to know the truth about its former owners, the Travers family, or why they left. Neighborhood children and teens kill the time by daring each other to go near the house, especially around Halloween.
Last year, a group of teens took it a step further than most. During a Halloween party, they were dared to go to the house and knock on its door. But after they left to do so, they all vanished without a trace. Much to the grief of their parents, even a large scale investigation turned up nothing. As time passed, almost everyone gave up hope.
But now, new evidence has surfaced. A video tape, appearing as if from nowhere at the household of one of the parents, its contents confirming that the last known location of the missing people was at the house. You remember its contents well, the blurry, static-y footage. The teens in front of the house, laughing and joking with each other. Cut. A shaking camera being carried through dark corridors, accompanied by screams of terror. Cut. The camera, now lying motionless on the floor, picking up the faint sounds of heavy breathing drawing closer, before a black set of boots stomps into frame and the footage ends.
For one reason or another, this tape has spurred you into action once more. Today, you're heading to 1307 Burkitt Street. If there are any clues left after all this time, you will find them.
