Hunters Inc. is a role-playing game of action, horror, suspense and intrigue presented in a serial format here in the pages of SHADIS. Players take the roles of mortals who must find the courage to fight an unspeakable and immortal terror. It has been designed to be played much like an action film, with a pacing that is fast and furious. It has also been designed to invoke the feel of film noir, a dark world where every shadow holds a hidden threat. When you run Hunters Inc., your players should feel that they are playing the world's deadliest game of cat and mouse. The only question is: who is the cat and who is the mouse ?

Hunters Inc. is designed to be played as a campaign. Every issue will present you with a new adventure with enough clues to lead the players right into the next episode. It has a beginning, a middle and an end, climaxing with a final confrontation with the arch-villain of the story. At the end of the story, it will be up to the players to destroy the world's most potent and powerfiul evil. Wish them luck now, because they're going to need it.
