I adore the style here; the white, black, and orange colour scheme along with the featureless silhouette of the lost and the Pillars is striking and adds to the theming. The mechanic are the real selling point for me; I don't think I've seen someone use a dicetower (as in a tower of dice) as a means of tracking your character's health. This creates a death spiral that makes the game well suited for those who want horror/post-apocalypse oneshot.
However, I can't help but feel there could have a tiny bit more; maybe a table to determine the nature or appearence of a lost. Still its really hard to criticise a one page RPG because they do so much with so little and all things considered, These Pillars Remain does what it sets out to do, that is to make sure everyone is at the edge of their seat when someone rolls a 1.
Possibly the best game of all submitted by you guys on this Jam (not to say the rest are bad either). Creepy yet pleasing aesthetic, cool concept and very intense mechanic with dice tower. Would love to have same more ideas on what to do in this game (maybe in place of the random tables?).
How y'all keep putting out interesting games week in and week out is beyond me and this is just another example of that... points for the dice stack that's always an interesting mechanic that is different enough to change a players experience with the game - well done!

Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback!

Thank you!! I appreciate it a ton! Fair, I'll try and incorporate something like that in this week's game!

Thank you so much!!! I'm actually just one person right now running two pages, but I'm planning on inviting other people once I've got good momentum!
Well mad props, I've been impressed with what you've produced - keep it up!
