Candela Obscura

A game of personal, psychological and supernatural horror, Candela obscura can go hard on themes of trauma and pain.
From the team behind the hit actual play show Critical Role, Candela Obscura is a new game on the scene.

The setting is the bustling metropolis of New Faire, a fictional city in a fictional world, in a time not unlike our own Victorian and Edwardian eras.

The city is still recovering from the end of a devastating great war, people are struggling, and the divide between rich and poor is vast.

In the middle of all this mundane struggle, you play as a member of the secret organisation Candela Obscura, whose purpose it is to shield normal people from the supernatural horrors that are bleeding up from the ancient ruins on whhich New Faire is built.

To play you need the core rulebook, and a set of six sided dice, 9 in total, 3 of which must be a distinct colour from the rest – these will be your guilded dice“.
