A downloadable game.
I reviewed this for my #33in28 series on Thoughty! Link to full review: http://briebeau.com/thoughty/33in28-week-2-reviews/
An excerpt:
In the game, you play a ghost who haunts three people, and you explore those hauntings using a simple 2d6 mechanic. The layout is simple but well-purposed!
As you play you fill out a sheet to answer questions about who you are, how you died, and why you haunt the people you do. I love simply designed games with beautiful results! The prompts you recieve when you roll are related to your life, your death, how the haunted respond to your haunting, and your progress to Your End. If you roll on the same number, you move to one near it, and this contributes to the only way you are given impetus to do violence – something I think was wise in design.
During your choosing of those you haunt, you write out what they Deserve, which is extremely powerful and hits directly into the heart of the quoted film. Some people deserve to find their freedom, some deserve love, and so many other things, including finding their own End. It should go without saying that this game involves death, potentially violence, and is steeped in the possibility of both tragedy and peace. I wish it had some basic safety guidance, but as it is a short game it’s common to leave this out. Nonetheless, it’s a very rich experience for such a small game and struck me quite strongly.
