Heavily narrative with few puzzles. High difficulty.

We have distanced ourselves from this sect, dismissing it as a group of fanatics whose beliefs have long since faded into obscurity. As fans of the arcane, however, we continued to document their statements and observe their actions, in case the threat turned out to be real.
We came across some shocking information, lost inside a shipping warehouse amid dusty boxes and forgotten packages, and we feel duty-bound to get that material to its intended recipient. Admittedly, even we are somewhat unsettled by the strange happenings surrounding this discovery. Enclosed within is “evidence” of an unsupportable nature and a story too improbable to be true. Sound minds assure us there is nothing to fear, but implausible opinions remain so only until they become widespread.
We leave it with you to decide for yourself what is true and whom to believe.
CARCOSA: Rise of the Cult is told over three mailings.
This experience is not appropriate to send to anyone who might be sensitive to the disturbing material and is recommended for those 16 and older. Our goal is to create an eerie but enjoyable Experience, not to frighten vulnerable individuals. If you have any doubts about whether your recipient will enjoy such an Experience, please do not send them Rise of the Cult, or make sure you can supervise their experience.
The consignment arrived promptly (in spite of my living on a different continent). Customer service was excellent and MPC were highly responsive and helpful. The experience itself was immersive, enjoyable, at times a little frustrating (in a good way!), and definitely well worth the cost overall.
10/10, would investigate a mysterious cult again.
I am a fan of MPC so it is no surprise I wanted try out this new revamp of an old game. Carcosa: Rise of the Cult is a revamped edition of the original “Rise of the Cult.” This Lovecraftian experience had plenty of easter eggs for those who love Lovecraft but still provides enough information for the inexperienced to enjoy.
The theming and narrative was immersive and engaging. These experiences encourage theory development and don’t necessarily give you black and white answers but I love the lore development. The narrative was well developed for me and I enjoyed the contrast in two stories overlapping. The use of artifacts, ages newspapers, scrolls, and more really give you a sense of time and place. The puzzle is multi-step and quite precise but you get your money's worth out of it with time spent.
Overall, I greatly enjoyed this and recommend if you enjoy immersive story telling with a bit of puzzling!
Canada post kinda lost it over the holiday it seems, but from what I got so far it’s great and I’m looking forward to the complete mystery’s arrival.
Sorry about the postal delay. We appreciate your patience and thank you for your review.
This is the fourth box I have gotten so far an all have been excellent.
