I picked up this rules when I for the daily Bargain of the Day email from Wargame Vault.  Less than 4 dollars for the basic rules, and a low model count horror game? Count me in.

 After printing the book off (I just can't read and take notes from PDF. Dunno why, it just is) I spent an hour this morning going over the rules, the backstory etc. It's only 60 pages , combat etc is basic, D10 based, but basic can be better and quicker. It is aimed at campaign game play to get your Cult to gain favour with your Deity. You are free to create a Deity and a focus stat. Besides combat you can pray to gain favour with your Deity, and use that for various Rituals. Combat is quick and brutal. Once a battle is done you get to check what happend to the wounded guys, and after that you have a exploration phase that can be handy, but also very deadly. 

Standard table size is 3x3, of which 1/4 must be woods, the rest can depend on the scenario, or what you rolled before the game or in the exploration from last game. Monsters can appear, but (fortunately) the lists for thsoe as well as weapons etc is small....no Frostgrave sized tomes needed for that. Again, basic is better I think. 

 Plus: 

Well, that sorts it then. Currently pitching the game to garner interest with the group. 
 

Also, no base size given, but I have plenty of 25mm MDF discs so I'll make some trial bases using those.
