“I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.”
― John Keats

Three kids and a harried coach find a being of legend.

To learn more about how Home By Dark is played check out our primer episode.

The characters for this game:

Ishmael "Ish" Berkowitz (Eric Silver) - 16 and a half year old high school kid who works at mini-golf place and keeps his army jacket on.

The Secret: The Alucard, an ancient benevolent being that takes the shape of a pig, or wild hog, with pale skin reddened by the sun. It has the power to heal, but is weakened by darkness.

The Pursuer: Dr. EJ Thunder, heir to the Thunder name - a family that founded the town, also carries the family illness. He seeks to harness the healing power of the Alucard. Further Dr. Thunder works for Brovartus, a pharma company that would kill to get their hands on a healing pig.
