It is the late 1890s. The British Empire stretches around

the globe. London has grown to become the greatest city

in the world. It is a time of innovation, prosperity and

expansion.

But every paradise has a snake.

In the heart of the capital, something terrible is rising.

You can hear it in the voice of the madman crying out

his psychotic visions into the night. Feel it in the cold,

relentless rain. Smell it in the noxious fumes that seep

from a thousand grinding factories.

Darkness is coming. There is no hiding. The only way out

is through.

You pray your companions have the minerals to follow

you to the end. There’s no need to speak. You know the

questions that grind inside their troubled minds.

Will you live through the night? Will you survive the

London Dread?

London Dread is an expanding world of Victorian horror. Inspired

by the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Joseph Conrad, H. P. Lovecraft,

Sean Phillips, Ed Brubaker, and many others, it sets the scene for

investigate stories of murder, madness and apocalyptic heroism in

which a few determined individuals face off against the horrors of

the Great Unknown.

In London Dread, 2-4 players take on the roles of Victorian

characters investigating a number of stories which come together to

form an overarching narrative.

The game is fully cooperative which means you all play against the

game and win or lose as a team. The goal of each story is to reach

the final showdown and bring down the Story’s Antagonist.

Each game of London Dread is a Story and the main part of each

Story is called a Chapter. Most Stories have two Chapters. The

only exception is the first story, The Letter, which is a single-Chapter

experience designed specifically for players new to the world of

London Dread. Each Chapter has two Phases: a timed Planning

Phase and an untimed Story Phase.

In the Planning Phase you will find 24 cards scattered face down

across the city of London. If you leave them face down, bad things

will happen. If you turn them face up, even worse things might

happen. Turning cards face up, however, is the only way you can

deal with them and remove them from the board. Your task in the

Planning Phase, therefore, is to strike the right balance between

revealing cards – not too few, not too many – and planning your

future investigations as effectively as possible.

During the Planning Phase, you have 12 minutes as a team to flip

cards and plan your 12 Actions.

Once the 12 minutes are up, you move on to the Story Phase.

In the Story Phase, you go through your planned Actions one by

one to see how they actually play out. You will learn that sometimes

planning and outcome are very distant cousins.

Finally, at the end of the 2nd Chapter (or at the end of 1st when

playing your first game), you will confront the Story’s Antagonist

in the Endgame. Your chances in the Endgame will be intimately

connected to the way you played through the Chapters.

If you win the game, you unlock the next story in the overall

narrative.

A timer is required to play London Dread. You can use a phone

or watch, though we strongly recommend you download the free

London Dread app (available for Android or iOS) or get the free

audio files available at Greyfoxgames.com. The soundscapes and

voiceovers greatly add to the immersion and feel of the game.
