Britain, 1813. Amateur folklorists work as agents of the Crown. Across the island, the folk ballads of the common people are coming to life. The dead walk, dragons rise, lovers betray one another, authorities condemn innocents to die — whatever happens in the song happens in real life. Three such agents are called on a mission to investigate a missing person and stumble across a fantastical realm. Can they rescue the VIP?
This game was run by the game's author, Tristan Zimmerman. It's currently on Kickstarter - back it today to ensure it gets published.
