This is a game about you.  

To play, you need scrap paper and something to write with. If you use pencil & eraser, you could play the entire game on the page itself. 

This is a business-card sized game. A color (more ink-intensive) and black-and-white (less ink-intensive) version is available, as well as a plain-text version. The zipped folders contain separate PNG images for printing as a business card. The one-page files contain both images of the game together to print, cut out, and fold (if desired).

This game was created for the 36-Word RPG Jam

Art is "A Section of the Constellation Cygnus" by Paul Henry, available in the public domain via The Met.

While the instructions lead to some deep introspective (if the “player” is willing to do so), I cannot get rid of the feeling that entries with similar approach do not fall into a game category, rather than creative/introspective/meditative activities.

It’s okay to work on tools like this, they can help people to start solving their struggles. I just don’t think it fits the roleplaying game territory. ‘Cause you don’t play roles here, you discover your role instead.

this is so powerful and reminds me of some of my most difficult moments in therapy hah. and you got there in 36 words!! an absolute achievement in art.

i honestly think it would take me the same amount of time to finish a whole solo rpg as it would to finish this game.

please pay money for this y'all!!
