About the game

What is Tales of Evil?

Tales of Evil is a game for 1 to 6 Braves (the name used for the players from now on) who become one of the members of a group of kids called Pizza & Investigation. During each adventure, the young Investigators venture into places inhabited by the forces of evil and need to get out alive—while trying to complete their missions! The Investigators will have to use all of their strength and ingenuity to stop the Demons they meet along the way, not to mention the Evil that resides in the places they explore. But that’s not all, and here is where the Braves come into play—you and your friends, that is—because Tales of Evil is an adventure that, based on your decisions, can end in many different ways. You will be the protagonists, and the sole responsibility for your fate and that of your friends is in your hands! —description from the publisher
