The Benefactors have a vivacious appetite for mortal suffering, and therein lies the purpose of the Ritual. Through the Terror Serum, the Game Master has engineered a series of Roles that work in secret against one another, sowing distrust amongst the victims. All you need to know is how to escape with your life.

Amongst the weathered pages of the Book of In-Between lies instruction on travel to worlds far, far beyond our own. The Game Masters Ritual has tethered the Asylum directly to the In-Between, drawing in lost souls… and the attention of the Benefactors

United by mystery, broken by fate. Nine members of Truth Seekers Anonymous agreed to meet for the first time to unravel the true story behind the Millhaven Massacre, only to fall victim to a terrible trap. Forged as comrades behind the comfort of their keyboard, thrust into a twisted game of death and lies: just how well do the Nine truly know one another?

A remarkable feat of science and dark magic, the Ritual of Deceit serves as the Game Master's meticulously crafted and perfected rendition of an ancient legend. Great evil stirs across somewhere beyond the infinite horizons of the In-Between, feasting on the primal emotion of the tortured victims: fear, trust, anger… and most delicious of all… hope.

The virulent Terror Serum serves two purposes: keeping the recipient alive in the toxic In-Between, and with an additional infusion through the Applicator, tainting the victim's blood with the Benefactors corruption. The Serum has taken an age to perfect, with a macabre trail of victims in the wake of its first success: the Experiment. Deathless hosts of pure evil, the Terrors seek to drive the Innocent insane before executing them in service of their true masters.
