Greenville 1989 is a co-operative narrative game in which each player represents a character who has experienced or witnessed supernatural events. They must describe these events to their fellow players, who must then locate this character and save them. This lead role changes each round, giving everyone the chance to be lost or found — and you want to be found or else the group is pulled closer to the void engulfing the town that threatens to consume you all.

Greenville 1989 has a sequel (ten years later): Paris 1889
