Four strangers are drawn into a supernatural investigation in this immersive, darkly atmospheric exploration of cosmic horror... 

Our acclaimed YouTube series Bookshops of Arkham pushes the envelope of actual play in several interesting new ways: Rather than the Keeper play the different non-player character roles, NPCs are played by walk-on actors. Filmed on location in a haunted house in Georgia, with gorgeous props, set design and lighting. And for viewers new to the Call of Cthulhu TTRPG, this four part series also features helpful pop-ups about the game’s rules!
