Inspired by Stepford crossed with Invasion of the Bodysnatchers and hints of Get Out, all marinated in some Wickerman (mostly the original). Also a few gentle shoutouts to the Peanuts.
Maps graciously created from Dyson Logos' "release the kraken" patreon project (http://2020/06/20/release-the-kraken-on-the-infested-hall/).

“Green Sun is —setting
to sleep and Winter —white greet.
Eaves creak and —groan,
leaves yellow and —roan.
Lift, lift the —veil.
All-harvester pre-vail,
come oh come now,
judge, yes, re—new.”
—Renewal Song, Traditional.

Good cheer and good health, everyone, on this eve of all the hallows.

Does this game require a GM, or is it a solo adventure? How many players do you recommend (if it is not a solo game)?
Also, is it possible to create a low-ink / printer-friendly version of this? I love the art, but my printer can't handle all this colour. (x_x)
It's a small location setpiece for a GM to run for players with a halloween (and pumpkin) theme.
Mm. For low-ink, I'd just recommend adjusting the printer settings (something like gray-scale / low-res). Try it for free (at PWYW you can always up the amount later if you like it) and if it works, great!
