Jesse Faden walks into the Federal Bureau of Control looking for her brother and ends up its director. The building is the Oldest House, a shifting brutalist office full of paranormal objects. You fight with a shape-changing gun and telekinesis.
Kit's verdict · 8.7/10

Loved
- Throwing desks at people never gets old
- Fantastic weird-fiction world
- The Ashtray Maze
Not so much
- Story stays deliberately vague
- Map is confusing
Play it if fans of the SCP wiki, X-Files and creative action.
Skip it if players who want a story with clear answers.
