This is another release of the original with some alterations to improve various aspects of game play. Mainly we promised one of the characters could be the villain but with so many to choose from the statistics made it unlikely to happen so we reduced the number of characters to 6, the maximum number of players. Some possessions have been adjusted to conform better and certain wording improved for better in-play understanding without having to refer to the rule book. Each person plays the role of a character that returns to Hallux Rigidus to gather evidence to discover the cause of the horrors that plague this small community. Once the cause is discovered, the players travel to the location in an attempt to end the horrors and save the town. The first player to successfully accomplish this, and retain his or her sanity, is the winner! —description from the designer
