Here & Far
A downloadable solo journaling rpg
Here & Far is a solo GM-less journaling game about being with another person, but unable to communicate with them.
The game uses scenarios to bring new and very different context to the prompts on each play-through. It will include 4 very different scenarios:
- The Coma: You are in a coma and need to reawaken so you can warn a loved one that they are in mortal danger.
- The Afterlife: You are haunting someone. Is it someone mourning you?, is it an old grudge?
- The Stakeout: You are watching an unaware subject. Are you police staking out a suspect? Are you are a thief that has hacked the security cameras of your next target?
- ????: I want to leave the last scenario to the feedback of the ttrpg community. What theme would you like to see?
This game is in development and being itchfunded. So far, the game includes 2 scenarios (The Coma and The Afterlife). Anytime the game reaches one the goals below, I’ll write another scenario (up to 4), and then add $2 to the price. So buying early means you get it cheaper, with access to all future updates.
