Unboxing the Mystery transforms standard Foundry VTT journals and items into interactive physical puzzles. It adds a layer of tactile mystery to your game, requiring players to physically interact with the screen to reveal hidden loot, secret notes, or ancient lore.
This module replaces the immediate display of journal pages and item sheets with an interactive overlay. Instead of just reading text, your players might need to crack a wax seal, scratch away layers of dust, or pick a mechanical lock to see what's inside.
