Welcome to the mythical North, the Northern Europe of the 19th century  , but not as we know it today. A country where legends are very real. A cold region covered in vast forests, where a few towns light up, torches of industry and progress announcing the dawn of a new civilization. But in the countryside, life remains governed by the customs of yesteryear. Locals know well what lurks in the dark. And it's better to be afraid of it.

Vaesen – Nordic Horror Role Playing Game is a game by Nils Hintze based on the work of Swedish illustrator and author Johan Egerkrans. Vaesen offers a dark Gothic setting steeped in folklore and ancient Nordic myths. The rules of the game are based on an adapted version of the Year Zero Engine.
