However, the setting was about giving manifest to the dark corners of the human mind, not a downward spiral into insanity. The only insanity is what any visitor brings with them. If someone does experience a Cthulhu style spiral into insanity, that would be very unique to him/her and him/her alone.Yeah, after I posted I was looking around and found some references to the Dread system on a Reddit post. Most seemed to support the idea that it would be good for a one-shot, but not a long campaign. The gumshoe system is a new one to me, but I'll look it up. Although, Dread would probably work well for my purposes. The series does best when focusing on the town itself rather than the backstory, and so lends itself well to standalone adventures. The best games in the series did the same (Silent Hill 2 and 4).</blockquote>
