Atmospheric investigative lovecraft text-adventure. Murder mystery, greed, and eldritch horror.

　　---

　　Harmouth was known as a town for dreamers . Stories about miners who struck it rich in the mines kept on coming, bringing wealth and prosperity to the town.

　　That all changed; first, when the mine was exhausted and second, when a strange rash of disappearances hit the town. Without the gold mine to sustain it, Harmouth lost it's vitality.

　　But while everybody else is getting poor, somebody has gotten rich. Interesting, that. Curious.

　　Very curious.
