SOS – The Last Voyage of the Hope

Call of Cthulhu Scenario by Miskatonic Repository / Chaosium

When hope becomes the last weapon…

A luxurious steamship.

A mysterious voyage.

And a ritual that takes you to a place where nothing you believe to know still applies.

The “Hope” does not vanish in the storm.

It is devoured.

What follows is not a struggle for survival against the sea – 

but against the incomprehensible.

A horror adventure beyond reality

In this dark, densely atmospheric scenario, players become part of a nightmarish transition

into a foreign dimension.

A place where reality shatters, time stands still, and something ancient pulses in the

background.

To escape, they must:

Find and redeem lost souls

Traverse disturbing parallel worlds

Make moral decisions

Resist the influence of the Great Old Ones

But even if they succeed…

a return is not guaranteed.
