About Hollow Pact, from BoardGameGeek:
Hollow Pact is a fast-paced, semi-co-operative game that blends horror, strategy, survival, and betrayal.
In the game, you join a group of scoundrels; enter a ruined town, the lair of a deadly Beast; grab cargo precious to you, your fellow scoundrels, and that Beast; play to your strengths; plead with the spirits for aid; and find a route to escape with the loot and your life - if you can - because even if the Beast doesn't get you, your fellow scoundrels might as they follow their own hidden agendas.
One player-controlled Beast uses its powers and the aid of spirits to hunt down the scoundrels and recover what they stole. The Beast also has secret goals, and accomplishing them makes thwarting the scoundrels easier. Hollow Pact plays out this thrilling, treacherous chase, with no two sessions playing the same.
The game includes a modular map and multiple scenario setups/goals as well as solo and cooperative play variations.
