I've just released three solo journaling games in a row on Itch, all following a Wellness theme and utilizing Takuma Okada's Alone system as a base. Each game includes PDFs in self-assembled zine and letter-sized format in both colour and greyscale. If you manage to catch this in early July, all three are on sale for ONE HUNDRED […]
The Wilds is a fun project I write when I need a break and let my mind wander to more casual things, often tag-teaming ideas with my wife. A few folks have asked for some basics about the Wilds, so I thought I'd recap some of those here. Story You start all alone, thrust against […]
