[Shogoth] "All copies of the game were destroyed in a house fire"

Trying to identify a game...
I believe there's a game that has an entry at CASA with a Notes section that says something like "All known copies were destroyed when the author's house burnt down" or something like that. But I can't remember the title of the game!
Does anyone know which game I'm talking about?

Yes, well found, cat!
It was just that the rather unlikely and very unfortunate events (mainly the fire) have stuck in my mind ever since I first read the Synopsis -- which I only did by chance because the game had come up as the Random Game on the homepage, I think. I obviously wasn't expecting to read such a brief but sorry tale! It's good -- in a weird sort of way -- to be able to read it again. Thank you, both.
Oh, and remember to keep regular off-site backups of your data, kids -- or the Curse of Shogoth might get you!
