In 1988, amidst a crippling depression in Willow Creek, a strange carnival arrives, offering a potential escape for the townspeople but harboring a dark and unsettling undercurrent. Book 1 of the Monster Masher’s Club.
This thrilling adventure thrusts you into a 1988 Midwestern town gripped by economic despair and an unsettling sense of foreboding. A strange carnival, the Revelia, appears as if from nowhere, promising a much-needed escape for the downtrodden townsfolk. However, as you and your friends explore the carnival's twisted attractions, you'll soon discover that something sinister lurks beneath the bright lights and joyous music.
The adventure begins with a bang as you're greeted by the Ringmaster, a charismatic figure whose words hint at the carnival's true nature. You'll have to navigate a gauntlet of carnival games, each with its unique challenges and rewards. But be warned, not all is as it seems at the Revelia. Keep your wits about you, as danger could be lurking around every corner.
As you delve deeper into the heart of the carnival, you'll encounter a host of grotesque creatures, from the monstrous frog-like creature Froggie to the spider-like Soda Jerk. You'll also have to contend with Heckna himself, the mischievous mastermind behind the Revelia.
Will you be able to escape the carnival's clutches and return to the safety of your own world? Or will you become another victim of Heckna's twisted games? Step into the Revelia and find out!
