Cat's Cradle

A "standalone sequel" to the classic Call of Cthulhu module The Haunting

Plagued by nightmares, the investigators gather at a Boston diner only to encounter strange children with a sinister secret. What are they hiding, and how does it relate to the investigators? And what does Pastor Michael Thomas have to do with all of this?

Set in the 1920s, Cat's Cradle is a standalone sequel to the classic introductory scenario The Haunting, available as part of the free Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition Quick-Start Rules. Cat's Cradle can be run independently, and provides an even richer experience when at least one investigator in the party has experienced and survived the events of The Haunting. As a sequel, Cat's Cradle can take place immediately following The Haunting or several years later. Additionally, it includes an appendix with recommendations for ensuring compatibility with several The Haunting-adjacent scenarios and resources.

This 54-page, sandbox-style scenario offers a darker tone and heavy investigation. Featuring 8 standard handouts plus 10 dream handouts, a map of Boston, and a visual aid for ease of Keeper navigation, Cat's Cradle is a slow burn scenario likely to unfold over multiple sessions and is intended for 2-5 players.

This module also includes techniques for developing and integrating rich investigator backstory into the Call of Cthulhu play experience, and specific advice for using these backstory details to personalize the horror in Cat's Cradle.

See what the experts are saying:

"A scenario with lots of investigation and lots of different options and paths... The scenario was reminiscent of some of the older Call of Cthulhu scenarios."

"It was definitely sandbox. My players did not go in the order in the scenario, and everything worked out really well."

- XP Lovecat

"[A]dding Cat’s Cradle to the mix will dredge up echoes from the past while providing you and your group an entertaining evening, or two, of excellent gaming experience."

"Good sleuthing skills and thick sole shoes are the investigators’ best friends. The investigation and clue trails are solid and well thought out."

- Rolling Boxcars

"Solid sequel to a classic scenario, The Haunting, which both explores the backstory to the scenario and personalises the consequences of the Investigators' actions in the Corbitt house."

"Deep investigative dive into the backstory to The Haunting."

I played the module after "The Haunting" with the same investigators. I can recommend the adventure, but adjustments need to be made in my opinion. The background story is not entirely conclusive, but there are some very good ideas to work wi [...]

This was a great game! I played it after "The Haunting" and it flowed nicely from the last senario, but it seems like it would be just as easy to play as a stand alone. The 'sand box' style play is fun. There are a good amount of [...]

This is the perfect follow-up to The Haunting! It gives the players a huge amount of exploration with the sandbox format, expands heavily on the backstory/mythos of the Corbitt house, and the appendix on compatible play experiences is a genius way of [...]

Cat's Cradle is a thoroughly fleshed-out and satisfying continuation of the classic Haunting scenario, utilizing the interesting setting and with notable callbacks, but with its own clear personality and flow. Having no prior knowledge or just vag [...]

Cat’s Cradle is a “sequel” in one of the best ways, taking on the underlying theme of occult fascination in eternal life, and the inevitable consequences of seeking and achieving it, in a more robust and expansive direction. The scenario [...]
