«Legacy of Eastbrook Hills» — is a dark detective series consisting of five interconnected scenarios-episodes. The game is fully cooperative: participants collectively manage a group of characters, the composition of which does not depend on the number of players. Management consists of choosing actions that the group will take. Players choose an action, draw the necessary card, read it, and gain new clues and opportunities. Most actions advance the game time, and when it reaches a certain mark, the finale occurs.
You can start the game without prior knowledge of the rules. This option is suitable if you have experience in similar games.
All game rules will be explained to you during the scenario gameplay.
The narrative is told from the perspective of an unseen participant in the events, accompanying the characters, and at times from the perspective of the characters themselves.
Play as a team of living characters, each of whom has not only a name but also a unique personality. Many actions will require time to perform, so choose activities wisely. Establish surveillance on objects or conduct hidden searches. Meet new characters and communicate with them on various topics to obtain valuable information. You can discuss any important topic with any of the key characters! You will need to unravel many tangled stories and encounter numerous interesting characters while going through five large-scale scenarios tied together by a single plot.
