The company has found a new life form and is asking you to study it. Their offer is unusually generous: catalog the organism, determine how they can exploit it, and return it to them for patenting. Routine. In exchange, they offer you a cushy position as department head, guarantee you a contract to publish a book, and will ensure that the institute you choose grants you a professorship. And have I mentioned the money? A lot. A simple work of study, sampling, and analysis. It sounds too good to be true. And of course, it is.

Heart of Darkness is a full-length Cinematic adventure for the ALIEN roleplaying game, written by science fiction novelist Andrew E.C. Gaska. Although it is a stand-alone adventure, it also serves as the conclusion to the Draconis strain saga, begun in the Cinematic setting Memories of the Future and continued in The Destroyer of Worlds. Heart of Darkness is designed for a party of 3-5 players, plus the Mother Director, and describes a spiraling descent into moments of heart-wrenching madness.
