Gothic Horror Worldbuilding & Campaign Management
Codex Cryptica for Gothic Horror
Keep families, estates, old promises, and buried secrets connected in one local-first workspace.
Why worlds get complicated
Gothic horror campaigns turn on the weight of the past: inherited debts, estranged relatives, isolated manors, and buried family transgressions. When your players uncover a sealed portrait or confront the parish vicar, you shouldn't have to scramble through loose notes to recall which ancestor made the original promise — or who stands to lose everything when the truth comes to light.
