I've been waiting a long time for this... an official Doctor Who module. To my surprise it didn't include classic monsters or exotic locales. It proved to be a Lovecraftian nightmare starring destitute people trying to make a go of it in a dilapidated hotel... and everyone's doomed because of cosmic evil... of course. This module accomplishes what I love most of Doctor Who... it builds strong NPCs the audience cares about. It isn't easy to make PCs care about down on their luck people crashing in an abandoned hotel, but this module does it well.
Don't expect classic Who villains clashing in space. This is a Cthulhu-like slower paced investigation in a very creepy locale. Well done.
