The Century Beast
The ocean is a cold and unforgiving mistress.
Sea lore is full of superstition. Bananas bring bad luck; never whistle, or you'll stir up a storm; mind your lodestone, else you'll sail into a copse of dragons and sea-beasts that'll eat you alive. Archaic lunacies, all, stuck in the craw of the collective subconcious... but as with so many superstitions, some are built on the bedrock of truth.
Or drowned in a deluge of it.
The Century Beast is one of these superstitious legends. The crate you will receive will contain every possible reference, clipping, and audio evidence of The Century Beast we were able to get our hands on. We also managed to procure an unsettling artifact before it was destroyed, which you will also receive.
With the knowledge contained in this crate, you may face similar choices as those whose stories are whispered on ships late at night, between watches. We strongly recommend that you learn from the results of decisions when determining your own course of action.
You are, after all, the captain of your soul. But whether you are the master of your fate... that much is still unknown.
Audience
The Century Beast is an unsettling story of madness and death. It is not suitable for young audiences or those with a sensitive constitution. Your recipient will enjoy this if they are fans of H.P. Lovecraft, Vikings, and weird fiction.

Elaborate and Excellent!
This was a surprise gift for my husband and he absolutely loved it. The details of the clues and artifacts were so well-rendered, and the entire experience so elaborate and perfectly executed, that it was as memorable an adventure as some of our world travels have been. Through obfuscation, I was able to convince him that the sender was another unknown friend or relative--and not me--so that mystery added an extra layer of mystery over the packages themselves. Highly recommended!

Still mysterious
We loved it but still feel like we were left hanging. Are we getting another mailing in this mystery? We were not expecting Norwegian Black Metal, but really loved that touch!

They were convinced it was possessed.
Gave this gift to a family with three boys (21, 19, 16) home due to COVID/winter break. This is a family that is very theatrical and as they became increasingly unsure about why the box showed up and whether or not the USB would corrupt their computer, delusion began to take hold. The kids whipped themselves into a frenzy--the oldest could not convince the youngers that it was probably sent by someone the family knew--and eventually the 16 year old took the box to exorcise it with his friends. The boys burned the totem and the contents of the box to vanquish the demonic presence. This box surely delivered entertainment even it if was not "used as directed." I would recommend anyone gifting to a family with a flair for the dramatic install a confederate in the home so that the more diabolical package theories can be put to rest *before* the mysterious package goes up in flames.
