Back The Haunting of Cliff Cove on Kickstarter now!

Prototype and Playtest Edition!

The prototype and playtest edition includes just the player rules. They're final as of March 2024, though they haven't gone to editing or layout yet.

You were supposed to spend your summer vacation touring with your band and not thinking about work or school, but then you and your bandmates accidentally broke the protection amulet of Rowena the Witch Queen.

Now all the worst demons of Cliff Cove have escaped, and you and your bandmates are stuck playing your hometown until you capture them all again.  Even worse, Rowena the Witch Queen's ex-girlfriend, the angel Apokolips, is also hunting for the demons, intending to capture them for her own nefarious purposes.

The Haunting of Cliff Cove (prototype edition) is a preview of a Forged in the Dark homage to Hanna-Barbera's mystery-format shows, including Josie and the Pussy Cats and Scooby-Doo. Inspired by Jex Thomas's Bump in the Dark, Saturday Morning Mysteries is a comedy horror game about solving supernatural mysteries in a small town while keeping your friendships alive (in both the literal and metaphorical sense).

Originally Created for the Iron Country Autumn and Queer Fear Jams, Saturday Morning Mysteries is in active development and will be playtesting at Metatopia 2023.
