The Hallow Man

The Hallow Man is a horror scenario for Darker, which can be easily adapted to Wretched Darkness or any other OSR game (or a non-OSR game with a little more work).

The abandoned Hallowview Hotel looms like a decaying giant on the edge of the city, its crumbling halls surrounded by urban myths. Decades ago, the hotel was abruptly closed after a series of unexplained disappearances, leaving behind rumours of occult rituals, ghostly figures, and a sinister entity known as The Hallow Man.

Built atop cursed ground once used for blood sacrifices to a forgotten harvest god, the hotel’s dark energy has only grown stronger, with strange graffiti and shifting shadows luring the brave—and the foolish—into its depths.

As you and your companions venture inside, seeking adventure or answers, you’ll uncover the unsettling truth behind the hotel’s history. But the deeper you go, the more the Hallowview twists around you, pulling you toward its cursed heart. At its centre waits The Hallow Man, a faceless shadow tied to the hotel’s blood-soaked past. Can you escape his hollowing grasp,or will you join the countless souls already lost to the Hallowview’s darkness?

Welcome to the Hallowview Hotel. Checking-in is easy, but escaping… That’s a different story.
