Cryptid Spot

After years of chasing rumors about cryptids, you’ve learned of several spots where these elusive creatures are frequently sighted. As a journalist, you plan to explore these spots in order to gather subject material for future articles. Cryptids are cautious and will not reveal themselves in front of a crowd, so you’ll need to shake off your rivals to explore these spots on your own. While a cryptid that several journalists report on will become more topical, too many articles about the same cryptid will lose your readers’ interest. Years ago, you published an article about a particular cryptid that, when exposed as a hoax, tarnished your reputation. Even if you gather subject material on that cryptid, you won’t be able to make use of it. Lastly, a word of warning: among your numbers may lurk a pretender whose goal is to prevent you from publishing any news about cryptids. Will you be able to outwit your rivals, capture the attention of the masses, and restore your journalistic reputation? —description from the publisher
