What’s a road trip without a little diversion?

A group of friends set off across the country to deliver a car for a relative, but give in to temptation and decide to have a little fun. Detouring to check out a local cryptid festival, they find themselves in the midst of a full-blown sighting…

…Or have they?

They begin to wonder as they knock around the local festivities and one of them meets the creature face to “face,” ending up in a harrowing chase that leaves them questioning how much of the facts are fabricated.

And who stands to gain…

There are creatures lurking in our world. Obscure creatures long relegated to myth and legend. They have been sighted by a lucky-or unlucky-few, some have even been photographed, but their existence remains unproven and unrecognized by the scientific community.

These creatures, long thought gone, have somehow survived; creatures from our nightmares haunting the dark places. They swim in our lakes and bays, they soar the night skies, they hunt in the woods. Some are from our past, and some from other worlds, and others have always been with us-watching us, fearing us, hunting us.

These are the cryptids, and Systema Paradoxa tells their tales.
