Hook A low-power repeating broadcast—part image, part sound—has been picked up on shortwave by hobbyists. The waveform contains a looping symbol like an iris and snippets of half-remembered voices. Locals report odd dreams and missing time. The party is hired by a nervous radio archivist who wants the origin cataloged, or by a relative of someone who vanished after listening.
Overview "The Eye" is a focused, atmospheric scenario suited for a small-group tabletop RPG session. It centers on a mysterious surveillance signal emanating from an abandoned Soviet-era observatory near the Aral Sea that manipulates memory and perception. Tone: slow-burn uncanny horror with investigative and social-play beats. Recommended system: rules-light narrative system (e.g., Fate Accelerated, Powered by the Apocalypse, or a custom d10 investigative engine).
