About Mythos: The Beginning - Director's Cut
A terrifying horror RPG experience.
MYTHOS: THE BEGINNING is a survival horror role playing game based on the pulp-horror and monster movies of the 1930s. Set in London in 1934, Mythos tasks you with creating your own paranormal investigator from scratch and guiding them through a frightening exploration of the infamous Harborough Asylum. Three young university students have vanished while attempting to conduct a scientific survey of this dreaded place, and it's up to you to find them! Throughout the night you'll discover Harborough Asylum's reputation is more than an urban legend, and you'll have to fight for your life against otherworldly Lovecraftian foes.

Developed by Dark Gaia Studios and published by KOMODO, Mythos: The Beginning - Director's Cut is an indie horror RPG that combines the eerie appeal of Lovecraftian fiction with the freedom of tabletop role-playing mechanics. Set in London in 1934, the game places players in the shoes of an investigator searching for three university students who vanished after venturing into the abandoned Harborough Asylum. The premise immediately establishes an atmosphere of uncertainty and dread, drawing inspiration from classic horror literature and early monster films while presenting a narrative-driven experience that favors exploration over spectacle. One of the game's defining strengths is its emphasis on player agency. Character creation extends beyond cosmetic choices, allowing players to shape their investigator's background and abilities in ways that meaningfully affect progression. Instead of following a traditional leveling structure, experience is invested directly into attributes and skills, giving each playthrough a unique identity. Skills related to persuasion, research, and occult knowledge frequently unlock alternate dialogue options and solutions, making the player's choices f…
This is a fun game with a surprising level of depth with party set-ups, strategies, and even the way you approach the game in general. You can approach the game as a horror game (using your skills and fleeing the monsters), a more traditional rpg approach, or as a mix of the two!
