That's you – someone on a crusade against evil critters.

But some people are mean, smart, crazy, and/or hurt enough to go and hunt down more monsters. Mostly, when someone finds out monsters are real, that's just before they die. You never even have to understand the story of the family that once lived at Blackbird Estate, nor learn why The Knights of the Buried Chambers built the place.Monster of the Week is the Apocalypse Engine creature-hunting RPG from Evil Hat Productions. It is! You don’t have to pay attention to any of this nonsense to build your own webs, tackle hornets out of mid-air, or hunt insects. “I thought Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon was an action game?” you may be asking yourself. You will comprehend all of this and know how it fits into this fiendish puzzle before that Platinum Trophy is in your hands. There are certain events which only occur a few times every year. The game even features the cipher alphabet the Knights used to write secret messages! Doing your own research will reveal a whole new understanding of the game, explain what is afoot in the deepest levels of the story, and put you on the path to the real life mystery of the Knights of the Buried Chambers. We researched this group thoroughly, and the secret society in Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon is modeled after them, faithfully depicting their rituals and customs. You see, Halloween isn’t the only time of year that changes Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon, and rainstorms and moon phases aren’t the only way that reality seeps into your game experience.Ĭenturies ago there was a secret society called The Knights of the Buried Chambers whose membership included key figures of the Illuminati, the Freemasons, and the Order of the Asiatic Brethren. Obtaining it will require devotion and cleverness far beyond what you’d normally expect. Much has been made of the game’s Platinum Trophy. You’ll have to find it for yourself in the sprawling Blackbird Estate, however. While we were working on the game, we asked all of our fans for a particular type of Halloween submission, and we chose our favourite. And we created a little surprise that only appears the week of Halloween. We programmed Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon to know what specific day of the year it is, too.

So yes, this is your chance to spend Halloween seeking clues in stained glass windows and decrypting ancient stone etchings on the darkest of nights in a game that uniquely echoes real life. The New Moon is particularly significant. There are mysteries, rare moths, and secret passages that you’ll only encounter during certain phases of the moon. And the moon phase outside your window is the same in the game as well. If you play in the evening, it’s night at Blackbird Estate, the creaky abandoned manor in which the game is set. When you play during a real life rainstorm, it’s also raining in the game. This is a game that seeks to blur the line between video game and reality.
