Hallowtide is a mini-agnostic eldritch fantasy skirmish game set in a world on the brink. 45 years ago, during the height of an industrial revolution, the dead returned to Voyrune in an event known as the Rising and devoured the old world. Many of the wandering dead have since returned to their graves, and yet the fractured remnants of humanity continue to wage a constant battle for survival against horrors spawned from the fringes of nightmare.
Players control a crew of hunters who have sworn to eradicate the forces of darkness – be it to make the world a safer place or merely to line their pockets with glittering silver. This is not a task for the faint of heart: enemies are deadly, time is limited, and mounting stress can cause even the bravest hunter to lose their reason. This is not a game of brave heroes and storybook adventure; it is a battle fought by desperate survivors attempting to make the best of an increasingly grim future.
