SKALD: Against the Black Priory
HORROR CENTRALITY
60 /100

Lovecraftian horror and eldritch mysteries exist as a narrative and aesthetic backdrop, but the game primarily centers on turn-based combat, party management, and exploration. Fear and dread are present, but not the core designed experience; horror is significant but not dominant.
