How your story begins

The Bellwether Hotel

You are in the Bellwether Hotel’s entrance hall, in the old quarter of a rain-dark city where the streets bend around buildings older than their names. You are Ilse, a sleuth who has taken a room here to learn what happens on the floor the hotel insists it does not have. The brass directory lists twelve floors; the stairwell’s worn stone steps climb past a landing marked 13, then end at the ordinary corridor for twelve.

Your first move: tap one, or type your own.

How it plays

Real dice

When it gets risky you throw a d20 yourself. The game shows what you need and what is at stake.

Danger that ticks

Threats grow as time passes and when you fail. When the clock is full, the consequence stays.

A world that remembers

Your items, money, wounds and the map are kept by the rules, not by the storyteller's memory.

People with a memory

Who trusts you, who owes you, whose patience runs out: it counts when you try to persuade them.
