Scooby Dread is a custom Dread game where players will take on the roles of the Mystery Inc Gang who have been reunited. But they have to survive long enough to solve the mystery. One part Clue the Movie, one part Saw the Movie, and one part Dread RPG this is a melodramatic and yet silly fun adventure. Content Warning - the game has the possibility to involve dark/adult areas with depictions of drug use/abuse, sex, violence and animal abuse.
