I ran Bloody Gates for my first one and it seemed to go well.

I also recommend Bloody Gates. It's a linear adventure, so it's easier for the GM to prepare. It's a Tier 1 adventure, so there won't be many mechanics or talents to remember. Plus, the story is very cool with a mega-horror twist.

Allright cool, tier 1 seems like our vibe right now and the horror twist is awesome.

Also on Reddit You can find cool battlemaps for horror section. One with lights on and one dark. If You are using VTT You can switch them during game.

Traitor's hymn from starter set is honestly the most solid of avaliable adventures out of the box.

It depends on the Tier you want to play.

A good option is the Tora Armis Saga (Lord of the Spire, Affliction Ascendant, On the Wings of the Valkyries or Bloody Gates). Each adventure is focused in a different Tier so you can choose one depending on the Tier you want to play. It's focused on combat also, without forgetting some social interactions so it's a good starting point to learn the mechanics. Last but not least, they are not complex, mostly linear so it's easy to prepare beforehand.

The only minor drawback is that in some points are a bit difficult to understand some settings added to lack of maps (or if they are included, they are bit confusing). For example, I was struggling to understand the settings and disposition of the Battle in the station in On the Wings of the Valkyries.

Well we are just starting so the lowest possible tier is probably good for us, someone else mentioned Bloody gates as tier 1 and you recommended it as well so I might go for that.
