Guests of the Candlewick sample rich desserts before retiring to the cozy rooms for a good night’s rest. Too bad for them, the Inn is host to horrors that make a nightly meal of those unfortunate enough to visit. Hospitality can be such a grim business!
Killing With Kindness is the all new game combining the cuddly sensibilities of Manny Vega (Flamecraft, Tea Witches) and the dark designs of Scott Rogers (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Escape from Rotter Mansion), published by Burnt Island Games and featuring art by Lara Lopez.
You have just been hired as one of the new managers of the Candlewick Inn, a historic landmark in the Evergreen Forest famous for its menu of delicious pastries and sweet treats. However, your tasks will include more than mere hospitality. You see, whoever built this inn, did so over a rift where cosmic horrors can move freely into our world. The only thing keeping these terrifying creatures at bay is a nightly meal of fuzzy forest denizens stuffed with their favourite sweet treats. This is the dark side of the job they don’t tell you about in innkeeping college. Can you sate the horrors’ unconscionable hunger each night, while running a restaurant inn by day, all while somehow keeping your guests none the wiser?
