Ace asks for your assistance as he plans to investigate members of a secret cult he has discovered as the source of this evil. Just before arrival, you get the news that Ace is found shot and mutilated in an alley. You decide to finish what Ace has started by collecting clues about the case trying to catch who is behind Ace death. A game for 2-4 investigators trying to identify who killed Ace as well as summoning unearthly beings to kill off all key witnesses.
