WELCOME
Y o u are about to be transported back in time to the American Colonies. The
pains of the American Revolution are just beginning; and the Colonies are
trying to break free from an oppressive English rule. No one—from the
midwife bringing a new life into the world to the red-uniformed general sitting down
to his afternoon tea—knows what the future will bring.
Although this is a game inspired by the eve of the American Revolution, when you
begin to read Colonial Gothic, you will notice that this is not history straight out of a
textbook. In our setting, the supernatural is as real and as threatening as gunpowder.
Your Hero is one of the few who understands that the supernatural exists in many
different forms, and Providence has chosen you to fight its demons—literally.
