Documentary Mode is a supplemental toolkit that creates a custom framing for scenarios where players take the role of a production crew on the search for that killer shot of the supernatural and weird. Beyond simple survival, Documentary Mode shifts the focus of play towards attempting to document the truth, or at least capturing compelling moments on camera that can be used to make a groundbreaking end product. To get the shot, the Investigators will need to push into the dark places and face the horrors head-on, sometimes bending the rules or laws in order to uncover what is really going on.
