Saddle up! Get yourself a posse and take a look – see what’s over that hill. There are strange rumors coming from the whispering desert. You’d best put a round in the iron and hurry! Down Darker Trails is a new setting for Call of Cthulhu – the American West in the late 1800s. A time of gold rushes, outlaws and lawmen, discoveries and expansion.

Rub shoulders with the likes of Wild Bill Hickok, Crazy Horse, and Calamity Jane, as you travel through towns like Deadwood and Dodge City – names and places that have transcended history and become legendary. Down these darker trails moves the taint of the Cthulhu Mythos, ready to ensnare the unwary and tempt the power-hungry with whispered secrets of cosmic knowledge.
