From BoardGameGeek

Exploration and InvestigationIn The Unseen World, you play a paranormal investigator traveling across Japan, visiting various towns, researching haunted locations, and trying to collect evidence of the supernatural. You'll have to properly manage your resources and time while also trying not to succumb to fear during your investigations. Level up, gear up, and build your team of investigators! Card-driven GameplayThe game's main mechanism uses a deck of standard playing cards split into two decks. Your deck, the Action deck, uses the 2, 3, and 4 of each suit plus one Ace at the beginning (you can earn more Aces as you level). You'll use a hand of 4 cards against the Challenge deck, made of the 6, 7, and 8 of each suit with one 5. A Check is made by playing a card, applying modifiers based on the situation, then optionally making a Push by adding the top card of the Action deck to your total. Meet or exceed the Challenge card to succeed. Endless Towns and StoriesTowns, locations, NPCs, and haunted backstories are generated using a series of tables, allowing for a near-endless variety of horror adventures. You'll acquire various items and recruit team members from the NPCs you meet along the way during the game. Each campaign will have its own evolving story. -description from the publisher
