About Call of Cthulhu 7e RPG
Call of Cthulhu is an investigative, horror game created by Sandy Petersen in 1981 and is published by Chaosium. In this game, you take on the role of investigators who may be exposed to any number of sanity-breaking entities, cultists, and monsters, in the attempt to find your way out of whatever mystery you were unwittingly dragged into. Do you dare to test your mettle and see if you can make it to the other side with your wits intact? If so, I look forward to seeing you soon!

A landlord, Mr. Knott, asks you to examine an old house in central Boston, known as the Corbitt House. The former tenants, the Macario family, were involved in a tragedy and the owner wishes to understand the mysterious happenings at the house and set matters straight. Mr. Knott has been unable to rent the house out since the tragedy and hopes that you can clear thing sup and restore its good name.
