Interesting setting. It does really capture the Hammer film vibe. I like that it reads like a guidebook from the Victorian period and sections would be ready made handouts for successful library use rolls. Great job.

A really fun solo scenario. Nice background on the Civilian Conservation Corp. More open ended with character generation with suggestions, and an optional table of secret backgrounds instead of pre-gens. Really appreciated the creative freedom.

The overall plot is good and the baddies motivation revealed in at least one path makes sense. The combat sheets for each potential fight gathered at the end of the book is nice design choice so there isn’t a ton of back and forth scrolling needed for each for each one.

Just a note for people new to COC, some aspects included to increase survivability such as check for skill improvements occurring daily are much faster than the standard game rules.

A combat heavy and fast moving story. It is divided into four chapters, each with their own mission to complete and move the overall narrative forward in manageable chunks.

The combat maneuvers options given in the appendix really adds to the action/adventure vibe and gives ways to change up a combat heavy story. Plus they are just fun.

The custom character sheets along with the setting specific occupations is a nice bonus.

While written for standard COC, this would be a good candidate to run as a pulp game so the characters would bit less squishy and have more options for heroic feats.

The pronunciation guide is much appreciated. Lovely layout and graphics Thanks!

Fun throwback style. Unique and quirky vignettes of characters like Big Snozz

This is an amazining senario. The stucture is clever and really intented for multiple playthoughs with diffrent charactors. It took me five attempts to unlock the final scene, but there is still more to explore

The maps of the city are clever because the locations are not only randomly determined, but veiwed though different incarnations of metropolis, suburbia, or necropolis. several of the most interesting encounters can only be reached through random chance while passing through back alleys in secret passages. it really adds to the creepy and dream like nature of the scenario.

The artwork throughout is sureal and the sugegsted playlist for eacb scene really adds to the ambience

Good overall. Nice design and layout. The detailed Dusty Shelf bookshop along with Edger the dog and his human would be perfect to drop into to an exsiting campaign.

A fantastic source book with three embedded scenarios. The level of detail and scope are outstanding, covering not just the history and culture of the home islands, but other locations under Japanese influence at the time such as Shanghai and Vladivostok.

The author does a good job covering what could be sensitive real life topics such as the Plague Prevention Laboratory in Manchuria or the attempted assimilation of the Ainu. The biographies (potential NPCs) help a lot in this regard by covering both the good like Chiri Tukie and the bad such as Noguchi Hideyo.

The illustrations alone would be worthy of a college level art history book This is a definitely a title to get in the printed version due to the hundreds of photographs, drawings, maps and reproductions of woodblock prints.

A wonderful group of scenarios with a central theme can be run as a campaign, or separate one shots. Nice balance of details for specific adventures, with lots ot blank spaces to put our own spin on them or more closely link the scenarios to each other. Highly recommended.
