Jekyll & Hyde

Jekyll & Hyde: The Strange Case

Somewhere in your world stands a red-brick Victorian house with a grim stone laboratory behind it. Dr. Henry Jekyll lives there: a genial physician and chemist who is happy to trade with you.

The more he trusts you, the stranger his errands become. His house changes, his manner changes, and one night he sends for you. Bring him what he asks for, and Mr. Hyde comes out of him.

✦ Features

🏚 A Victorian mansion

• A rare, fully furnished house: hall, parlour, dining room, consulting room, kitchen, study, library, bedrooms and a hidden room.
• Behind it, across a walled court, stands the laboratory: an old dissecting theatre lit from the roof, a gallery, and the doctor's private cabinet.

🎩 Dr. Jekyll, a merchant with a secret

• Trade with him across 5 levels of confidence. New trades appear the next day, when he restocks.
• Your trades also feed his hidden experiment. You never see the number, only its effects. He moves from respectable to strange, unravelling and finally the brink.
