TL;DR: Gravemire presents a darkly horrific game set in the Louisiana Bayou in 1894 following a supernatural event known as 'The Convulsion'. It is beautifully illustrated and well laid out with unique mechanics for play beyond the Border in the Bayou and during downtime in the isolated settlement of Scarstone. There's much to love, but overall I found it undercooked; there just isn't enough about handling or depicting the Bayou and the supernatural threat within. This is a real shame as there is much to like here, especially as it gave me echoes of the Southern Reach Trilogy, albeit in a different century.
