THE MISSION

Deep within the untamed jungle mounds of Oklahoma, an entrance lies hidden. It leads to K'n-yan, a colossal subterranean civilization of immortal executioners, red-litten ruins, and cosmic entities. As 16th-century explorers or modern scavengers, your team must venture down, extract eldritch artifacts, study unspeakable entities, and escape before sanity splits wide open.

Lovecraft and Zealia Bishop, The Mound unravels the mystery of K'n-yan, a subterranean realm of ancient humanoids who conquered death, only to succumb to decadent boredom and horrific worship of Cthulhu and Yig.
