You are a supernatural ghost-hunter tasked with confronting horrors.
Wraithound is a tabletop role-playing game designed for 1-3 players, where you embody a unique ghost hunter endowed with supernatural abilities as part of an ancient order. Your adventures take you through haunted properties like ancient manors, desolate castles, and abandoned mansions, each steeped in mystery and spectral phenomena.
As you step into these eerie settings, you must investigate the underlying causes of the supernatural occurrences that plague these locales. Through careful exploration, you gather clues and insights into the hauntings, confronting any horrors or threats such as ghostly apparitions, monstrosities and other unsettling entities.
The heart of your task is to resolve these disturbances, struggling to banish, capture, or eliminate the spectral presence. After each haunting is put to rest, your journey leads you to the next troubled site, continuing your life's dedication as a Wraithound to shielding the living from the echoes of the spectral world.
