Scenario: Music From a Darkened Room, by Dennis Detwiller

• Approx runtime: 3-6 hours
• Number of players: 2-6
• WHAT YOU’LL NEED: Standard set of dice, a pencil

Places, like people, sometimes go wrong. They turn off the path and head into the shadows, becoming something other than normal. Black places filled with blank rooms, closed doors, and empty hallways lined with dust. In these places your voice catches in your throat, the air seems to hum, and bad things happen. People get hurt. Objects vanish. Misery flows like the water from the loose faucet in the bathroom. Hate hangs in the air like old paint. It smells of time and circumstance, and something just a little beyond the world. It smells like surrender. 

The house at 1206 Spooner Avenue is a place gone wrong. In the last 50 years, 18 people have died there, and you can feel it. You walk in and it’s like dropping 30 fathoms under water. It’s suddenly dark and cold and pressure-filled. Doors in 1206 Spooner Avenue stay shut, and no one ever hears a child’s laughter at night. In the hours that stretch like taffy after two, no one ever hears music from a darkened room. No one sees a woman walking behind the glass of the bathroom mirrors. Still, pretenses remain. You shut your eyes and pretend the world is ordered, like a puzzle whose pieces are square and plain. You pretend a lot of things. You pretend you are pretending.

Until, in the dark, the hand falls on your shoulder. Music from a Darkened Room is an investigation with many dangling threads, and is a level of complexity above the other two. While beginners will discover a thrilling, horror-filled experience, this scenario is intended for players familiar with the genre.
