The Shining
A survival horror tableau set in an isolated mountain hotel during a winter shutdown. Players take on staff who explore rooms, gather resources, and build willpower to resist creeping supernatural influence as visions and hauntings escalate. One player secretly works against the group after succumbing to the hotel's malevolent force, spreading corruption and manipulating events while the others attempt to identify threats and escape. Gameplay mixes cooperative exploration, hidden roles, and escalating tension as the team balances investigation, resource management, and social deduction to try to keep everyone alive.
