Have you ever been to Hell?
Have the monsters ever been upon you?
Strange Tales of Songling is a fantasy horror role-playing game inspired by Chinese Ghost stories.
You play as traveling scholars, wandering warriors, demon hunters, and magicians striving against monsters and the powers of darkness. It is a game of investigation, survival, kung-fu, and terror.
It is set in a mysterious dream-Hell (not Western Hell, but Chinese Hell) where brave souls fight and investigate to save themselves from damnation.
In this dream-realm, you are tasked either as the groom to Lung Min, Daugher to the Lung family, or as constables to Sheriff Yu in Waterfall Bay.
However, horrible murders by decapitation have been happening in Waterfall Bay, and people have said they have seen dragons eating the dead people's heads. What's worse is that bodies are disappearing from the constables' house before they can be properly examined.
Will you be able to get to the bottom of these mysteries and crimes?
Will you be able to stop the murders?
Will you be able to survive the monsters?
