In the summer of 1893, the World’s Columbian Exposition — aka the Chicago World’s Fair — was held on the south side of Chicago. Three days before the fair closed, a tragic demonstration in the Electro-Spiritualism exhibit brought something terrible into our world.
Word spread that an unknown creature was luring guests down to an ‘Evanishment Room’ from which they never returned. The attractions were quickly and quietly closed. Workmen refused to dismantle the exhibits as the fair died around it. Two months later on January 4, 1894, strange lights were seen coming from the abandoned exhibit hall.
You and up to three friends or family will travel back over one hundred twenty years to that night at the decaying Chicago World’s Fair. You will choose one of six personas through which you will discover frights, trials, and adventure around every corner. Your goal is simple: explore the abandoned exhibits and don’t get caught by the demon… Nicodemus.
Uncover the history of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition and the secrets of Electro-spiritualism. Download and read the novella reconstruction by Curtis and Tracy Hickman (.pdf | .ePUB | .mobi).
