Shadows over the Cam

Ancient languages, strange artifacts, and vanishing scholars: a cosmic-horror tale where Cambridge itself is the stage.

In 1920s Cambridge, something vast and otherworldly stirs. Buried tomes whisper of an ancient language linked to a strange artifact, and University scholars vanish as curiosity slides into madness. Inspired by H. P. Lovecraft and H. G. Wells, this improvised cosmic-horror tale blends sharp humour with creeping dread, as Town and Gown confront  horror unbounded by space and time.
