In The Deep, your sins take on a terrifying reality, manifesting as gruesome abominations determined to make you suffer not only for your own crimes, but also for the transgressions of others. The present becomes your prison, and the world around you distorts into a nightmarish reflection of your mistakes and regrets.
In this twisted realm, your sins must either be atoned for, or they will literally tear you apart.
The Deep is a dark, distorted mirror of our world, forcing the unrepentant to face the full weight of their crimes. But survival isn’t just about enduring The Deep – Once you emerge, you’re thrust back into the natural world, where new dangers and conspiracies await.
As the Game Master of The Deep, you’ll weave the character traits provided by your players into nightmarish challenges and twisted encounters. Murderers will be hunted by creatures that personify the darkest depths of their sins, while the greedy will be trapped in puzzles that force them to relinquish everything they cherish. Those who fear death will face harrowing confrontations with their own mortality, as you transform their deepest fears into living nightmares.
But the nightmare doesn’t end when they escape The Deep – In the natural world, your players must navigate a web of factions, deceit, and peril. Cults, government agencies, and secret organizations will stop at nothing to exploit the knowledge and power your players have gained. Conspiracies spread like wildfire, and the dangers of The Deep are mirrored by the treachery of the natural world.
Your players bring their characters’ secrets, and you bring the reckoning.
While the other side may offer a chance at redemption, the real question is: can your players survive both the horrors of The Deep and the unforgiving natural world? Will they find a way to atone for their sins, or will they be devoured by the relentless forces hunting them?
