Sometimes described as an TabletopGame/ArkhamHorror clone, and it's not hard to see why. Both games involve players exploring the environs of a town under siege by supernatural forces and aiming to defeat them before the doom meter hits critical, with gameplay driven by skill rolls and card-based encounters. The biggest difference is that the gameplay in ''A Touch of Evil'' is competitive (though there is also a cooperative variant), with players attempting to be the first to locate the lair and defeat the Villain. It also avoids emulating the legendary [[NintendoHard soul-crushing difficulty]] of AH (though playing in Advanced mode can be a challenge).
