Summary

From the Kickstarter campaign:

Mythos Tales is a game of macabre detection and Lovecraftian horror for 1 - 8 players by Hal Eccles and Will Kenyon. In Mythos Tales, players take on the role of private investigators in Lovecraft’s Arkham, tasked with solving a series horrifying mysteries. As detectives, players may either play competitively, or players may play cooperatively against Miskatonic's erudite librarian, Dr. Henry Armitage, pitting wits against a master detective! Each investigation takes between 60-120 minutes to complete, and the game will include 8 investigations.

Comments / Trivia

This game has two editions, each with a different title: Arkham Investigator (1st Edition), and Mythos Tales (2nd Edition).

This game is modeled after the 1980's game Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, although they are not officially connected.

While Arkham Investigator has two cases, Mythos Tales is expected to have at least eight.

Not to be confused with Cthulhu Tales, an unrelated game.
