==Setting and Themes==
Horror and mystery in a Lovecraft Mythos setting, in 1951.
==Summary==
The different groups of players had all boarded the freighter M/S Lyckan to sail to Narvik, in order to get home after spending time in Kirkenes. An anthropological expedition to Kirkenes had brought along a strange statuette found in a burial mound, which slowly corrupted the crew onboardon board. As the ship got stuck in the ice and a severe storm blew in, the passengers found themselves trapped aboard a dark ship as horror crept out of the shadows.

During the game, the diegetic radio room also doubled as a [[Meta room]], in which organizers played out meta scenes over the radio and generally "spooked" the players when they were alone.
