Carousel of Fear was a Call of Cthulhu game using the system and rules from Chaosium.
We’re so happy that you’ve come to play with us. We’re going to have some good, funny times…
A group of post-apocalyptic survivors seek supplies and their missing friends in an abandoned carnival. Once inside, the Investigators find themselves unable to leave. Their only chance for escape is to interact with the Carnival’s malicious, cruel and treacherous attractions in order to receive tickets to redeem upon exit.
Unfortunately, this Carnival is sentient, and it serves as an insanity inducing playground for an “unspeakable” Mythos deity.
