Eldritch Instinct is an adventure game written by Linus Weber for one Warden and one or more players who act as investigators of the strange and unexplained. As a player, you will take on delusional cultists, hide from stalking shadows and face terrifying monstrosities.

Brace yourself for a blend of cosmic horror and adrenaline-pumping action in which you do the investigating, not your character. Hunt down forbidden knowledge in your quest to foil the sinister Mythos agenda.

Eldritch Instinct features:

  • Procedures, tables and advice refined over three years of playtesting to facilitate immersive and suspenseful horror scenarios.
  • Quick character generation with several random tables that includes meaningful relationships with other characters.
  • 40 pages in A5 spread layout for convenient reference at the table.
  • Free introductory scenario “Roadhouse Feast” (available separately).
  • Character sheet by Francesco Zanieri / Licopeoart.
  • Copyediting by Tim B. / congas.blog.

This is a game that values community contributions! Please join the Discord Server and the Subreddit to talk about scenarios, discuss rules hacks and share play reports. If you have published assets like maps, handouts or audio files, I’d be happy to include them in the Eldritch Archives.
