KADOKAWA released the New Call of Cthulhu TRPG Welcome Kit within the official app New Call of Cthulhu TRPG Rulebook PLUS on May 19. The kit includes a character creation tool that builds investigators from eight questions and a keeper-free solo scenario called Key of Shinen. Purchasers can issue a share coupon for friends to use for eight hours.
The Welcome Kit's character creation tool, called Character Diagnosis, offers 30 occupation types and builds a modern investigator from eight questions. The solo scenario Key of Shinen traps an amnesiac investigator in a room of time-space doors, showing incidents from different eras. Dice rolls happen inside the app, so no physical dice are needed. After purchase, users can generate a share coupon that lets a friend use the kit for eight hours, intended as a way to invite others into the game.
