Downsides - the second half of the game (after the haunt starts) sometimes isn't fair (its either too easy for the survivors to beat the traitor, or too hard, and you'll know it as soon as it starts). I've read that the scenarios aren't proofread very well (some are unclear, or some the rules aren't written as intended), but i've never come across one that made me complain. If you want a romp through a haunted mansion, this is the game!
you each play a character (a dr. a jock, a little girl, etc) and you explore a randomly generated mansion (by flipping room tiles over) and collect items/weapons and clues. Every time you collect an "omen" you roll a bunch of special dice to see if the haunt starts.
if you roll less non-blanks than you have collected omens, then you start a "haunt" where one of the players becomes a traitor and it becomes a 1vs many game. The traitor could be a werewolf, or an axe murderer, or under alien mind control. There is a whole booklet of different haunt scenarios, randomized by omen/room/player character combination.
The different scenarios do not string together into a campaign.
If given an option, I personally avoid Amazon for board games going forward and would recommend the same to anyone else.
Good luck!

Hard to say which I'd suggest at the same price, but for $25 picking up this game is a no-brainer!

My only issue is that despite the scenarios, it felt repetitive for me. I enjoyed dead of winter and Eldritch horror a lot more. Granted, when I played Eldritch horror, we had the expansion pack as well.
