Lose Yourself in... The Descent

Embark on a perilous expedition into the heart of ancient mysteries with "The Descent, Solo Edition" - a single-player adventure designed for the Candela Obscura system. Assigned to accompany a private expedition into the ruins of Oldfaire, investigators delve into damp sewers and ancient catacombs. 

The mission? To replicate the doomed excavation of Dig Site #347 and unravel the enigmatic secrets of Iomene's Mercy. As threats manifest in the physical hazards of the Endless Descent, the mind-altering darkness, and the ominous Court of Iomene's Mercy, players must navigate treacherous terrain with a robust cast of characters.

"The Descent" weaves a gripping narrative of suspense, supernatural elements, and cryptic puzzles. As investigators delve deeper, they confront ancient rituals, otherworldly adversaries, and the shadows of Oldfaire's dark history. Will they unveil the truth hidden in the depths, or succumb to the same horrors that befell those who came before? The answers lie within this haunting tale of mystery and survival.
