The Prisoner's Dilemma

Set in HMP Dartmoor Prison in 1920s Devonshire, this survival-horror tabletop roleplaying scenario begins with a letter from an inmate offering a substantial reward in exchange for forgiveness. Investigators enter the prison seeking answers, uncovering secrets beneath its walls as they run, hide, and fight to survive. The scenario builds tension through a deadly game of cat and mouse, leading to a final decision with lasting consequences.
