About

Expanses of water so vast they seem to go on forever…the silhouette of a dead ship on the horizon…stars filling the night that have never shone over our earth…nightmares made flesh, rippling just under the surface…a siren’s call no man can deny…this is what waits for you in CETO’S BRINE. CETO’S BRINE is open to ocean-themed horror – mermaids, selkies, doorways to other dimensions, ghost ships, curses, madness, mythical beasts from beyond, Lovecraftian horrors, and demonic forbidden love are just a few of the tales we’re looking for.
