The Unraveling

A TTRPG of Supernatural Mystery, Desperation, and the Haunting Threads of Fate

For 2–5 players | GM Required

Welcome to The Unraveling, a dark and immersive tabletop roleplaying adventure set in the chilling world of Descent into the Veiled Hollow. In this narrative-driven mystery, you and your group are drawn to Raven’s Hollow, a dying town caught in the grip of a broken pact with an ancient and malevolent force known only as the Veiled Sovereign.

Tension, dread, and mystery intertwine as your characters confront the supernatural unraveling of the town—and themselves.

What Awaits You in Raven’s Hollow

A Town in Peril
The town of Raven’s Hollow is coming apart at the seams. The boundaries between reality and nightmare blur as shadows stretch, veilstitches shimmer in the air, and whispered voices pull at your mind. You're not here by accident. You're part of the unraveling.

Explore the Veiled Woods
Venture into the shifting, reality-warping Veiled Woods where time bends, spirits whisper, and lost things linger. Each step brings you closer to the heart of the town's curse—and to the Veiled Sovereign itself.

Desperation is a Mechanic
The unique Desperation System tracks your characters’ emotional unraveling. The more desperate you become, the more the Veiled Sovereign tightens its grip. Desperation gives you power—but it always comes with a cost.

Uncover Forgotten Truths
From haunted wells to cursed tomes in forgotten sanctuaries, you'll uncover twisted histories, cursed pacts, and broken promises. NPCs like the spectral Madame Selene and Archivist Varian hold keys to the mystery—but can you trust them?

Face the Veiled Sovereign
At the heart of the woods lies the Veilstone Altar and the entity that feeds on suffering. Will you break the pact that binds the town to darkness—or become another ghost in the woods?
