However, the townspeople were actually right by fearing those ancient tales; something ancient, unnatural and dangerous lurks in the shadows of the sanatorium and the preternatural cure may come with a heavy price. The answer to this mystery is in the water."
Sílvia Clemente, & Miguel Ribeiro worry me a lot because they come out with some killer content, take for example (In)Sanatorium their new Lovecraftian adventure for thier horror old school game Wretched Époque Rpg.
(In)Sanatorium By Sílvia Clemente, & Miguel Ribeiro For The Wretched Époque Rpg is a wicked little adventure & I don't say this lightly. (In)Sanatorium is deep in Lovecraftian weirdness right from the get go. And it's a vicious little romp & Silvia's streak here for writing adventures that will cripple a Wretched party are on full display. Take the mysterious set up please; "Through the small French
town of Royat flows a
stream of miraculous
water. Still, the spring’s
history is also connected
to ancient ghost stories,
and the locals prefer to
avoid it just in case. Until
the day an eccentric
Russian prince is cured of
his long ailment and
decides to share the water
miracle with the world,
building a unique avantgarde Sanatorium & Spa
Resort.
However, the townspeople
were actually right by
fearing those ancient tales;
something ancient,
unnatural and dangerous
lurks in the shadows of the
sanatorium and the
preternatural cure may
come with a heavy price.
The answer to this mystery
is in the water."

There's madness & corruption within plot upon plot here with PC's waiting to revolve themselves within the lives of staff, patients, and more. And for the Wretched Époque Rpg (In)Sanatorium By Sílvia Clemente, & Miguel Ribeiro is a must get.
(In)Sanatorium By Sílvia Clemente, & Miguel Ribeiro is a generational horror rpg adventure and the horror of it stretches way beack into the mists of time. And (In)Sanatorium takes full advantage of the Lovecraft palette from basic horror to the cosmic expression that can take a Wretched Époque Rpg party of adventurers to edge of insanity & beyond. For three dollars this is an excellent OSR adventure!
