Cthulhu: Dark Providence drops you straight into a shadow-soaked America where no one’s motives are what they seem—your friends at the table least of all. Inspired by Martin Wallace’s A Study in Emerald, this version blends Lovecraftian dread with deck-building, secret roles, and just enough historical grit to make you wonder if the Great Depression was the least of everyone’s problems. You might be an Investigator holding the world together with fraying sanity, a Cultist quietly helping the Elder Ones redraw the map, or a Dissident stirring the pot for your own ends. With sanity teetering, alliances shifting, and agendas buried under layers of suspicion, every playthrough feels like a tense, conspiratorial puzzle. If your game group enjoys atmospheric strategy with a pinch of paranoia—and some cosmic horror for flavor—this one’s an absolute treat for late-night San Diego game sessions.
