Alone Against the Tide is a solo horror adventure set in the 1920s for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game. Step into the shoes of an investigator visiting Esbury, Massachusetts, a remote lakeside town that is both picturesque and unsettling. Your choices guide the story, shaping not only your investigator’s fate but also the lives of Esbury’s residents—and the town itself.
Play as your own custom investigator or take on the ready-to-play Dr. E. Woods, an archaeology professor from Miskatonic University. Almost every reason for visiting Esbury is linked to the enigmatic Professor William Harris, whose research may hold dark secrets.
What is the cause of the strange green fog suffocating the town? Who are the menacing men in dark suits that arrive on the ferry alongside you? And why has a Buddhist monk come to Esbury, a town accustomed to New England’s elite?
All you need is a pencil, some dice, and either the Call of Cthulhu Keeper Rulebook or the Starter Set to explore the mist-shrouded streets and uncover Esbury’s mysteries.
Do you have the courage to face what lurks in the fog?
Designed for use with the Call of Cthulhu Roleplaying Game, 7th Edition.
