Haunting

Get spooky with a friend as you draw and journal the story of a Haunted House and its occupants over the years in Haunting, the 2-player haunted house TTRPG.

It was in the long dark of many vacant years that you were brought into being, not knowing how long you had stood alone before you awoke. You came into this world hungry, empty, resenting the absence of your creator, willing yourself to exist. Your frame now creaks and groans from its long sleep; a body of wood and brick and brooding, that lays weathered and ageing throughout the endless seasons. You sit in wait of someone to consume, for someone to take residence, to slowly digest within your walls and grant you the strength to become more than your foundations would allow. You are more than a house.
