Synopsis

In 1974, as East Timor is invaded by Indonesian forces, SIS agents/Investigators are dispatched to Suai in order to frame Leni Americo, senior member of the governing party. However, that's not their only mission. Americo is also the lone survivor of the Mason Expedition, an ill-fated group of anthropologists that, in 1938, disappeared in the Timorese jungles while trying to contact an isolated tribe. There is enough evidence supporting that this tribe worshipped a Mythos entity called Ti-Taki-Ti and investigators must convince Americo to guide them through the jungle to find this tribe and deal with it and whatever evil they find. In their search for the truth, the operatives must face the perils of the Mythos-tainted jungle, fanatical tribesmen, and the god Ti-Taki-Ti itself.
