Logs, Stories, and Notes
House of Arkham
Year Eight. Day 15. Morning.
Strange happenings around the tower. Sam reported hearing ghostly voices in his room. James heard the same disembodied voice making comments about the stories he was listening to on the gramophone in the old library. Max heard comments about the futility of his existence and the need to embrace the darkness. I’d say it was our mind playing tricks on us except that we all seemed to be hearing the same voice.
Year Eight. Day 15. Afternoon.
The voice came from my room. When I investigated the source of the sound, I found on my desk a sketch of myself in what seemed to be a Cheshire cat suit. Definitely not something I would ever wear. The designer clearly has no concept of who I am or where I come from. Just random nonsense to fill a page. But there was something about that ridiculous sketch that reminded me of a book I had seen when we first arrived at the tower. I can't remember if I had seen the book in the library or the basement, but the word 'sweet' keeps coming back to me for some reason.
Year Eight. Day 15. Night.
I've solved the riddle. Or at least I think I have. Like Rumpelstiltskin, I believe the owner of the voice is the Mad Designer, the one who hides her real name under a heap of random names. I talked to the group before panic set in and we all promised this trickster apparition that we would wish her so-called 'Sweet Darkness' a happy birthday if she agreed to leave us alone. She didn’t answer, but the random comments seemed to have stopped. For now, anyway.

Hidden Perks
This Tome introduced a new Challenge that hides the Character's Perks and randomly assigns four of them for the next Trial.
Trivia
- The title of the Hillbilly Challenge, "Coldwind Chainsaw Massacre", is a reference to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, from which The Cannibal, the other chainsaw-wielding Dead by Daylight Killer originates, and which was the original inspiration for The Hillbilly.
- The Community Challenges for Level 2 were adjusted downwards on 2 July 2023, due to the original numbers having been deemed too high to achieve sensibly in the remaining time-frame.
