MAGICI DENUNCIATORES

The Chronicles of the Phenomena Department


It is the end of the Twentieth Century and the dawn of the Twenty First. The Industrial Revolution has given way to the Age of Electronics, the Atomic Age, the Space Age, and now, the Age of Computers. The future, as they say, is now. Superstition and myth have been replaced by hard scientific belief. We understand the world, and it is ours. Right?

Wrong.

If there is one thing man has learned, is that the more he uncovers about the universe, the more he discovers he doesn't know. And no one understands this better than the Phenomena Department. Their motto is quite simple: "The universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine."

In a world where the computer age flourishes on an unprecedented scale, someone has to still be willing to brave the shadowy corners of the world, investigating those things the rest of the world pretends no longer exist. For magic is real. So are vampires, ghosts, werewolves, and the Thing Under The Bed. Even worse are those Things Man Was Not Meant to Know.

It is the job of the Phenomena Department to deal with such things. They brave the shadows and the dark to face down threats that most people don't even believe are real. It's a dangerous job, but that's why the benefits are so good.

Are you ready?
