As a second-ever video game, I think you did a good job! I really liked the owl, and the roomba in the larger building was a clever obstacle. I'm interested to see where your next game takes you.

First of all, hats off to Michael for writing over 400 card prompts for this game. (In his place I would have simply gone insane). I never knew what was around the corner! The stakes are definitely high, and my heart was pounding as I risked it in my effort to defeat the Viscount. I have more to say, but this little text box isn't big enough; my full thoughts on A Torch in the Dark can be read on my wordpress blog.
This is a wonderful solo TTRPG! I really enjoyed all the narrative possibilities of being a lighthouse keeper in a science fantasy setting with sky whales and aliens, as well as going "spacecombing" on the shore of the universe. Ella has done a fantastic job with this game! You can read my full thoughts on my blog.
This is a cute, whimsical game that nevertheless packs a real punch if you let it. I ended up channeling a lot of my queer trauma into my characters; for a game centered around fairies, things got really real really fast... and yet, I never felt unsafe. You can read more of my thoughts on my blog.
This game is wonderfully setting-agnostic and the table results are general enough to be applied to just about any genre. I picked Weird Fantasy for myself, but other players could easily go full Kevin Costner with a more realistic and gritty post-apocalyptic world. This game is GREAT as a worldbuilding exercise and allows the player to generate surprisingly large amounts of geography and social structure through their mail carrier’s journey. I’m planning to replay Nor Gloom of Night in conjunction with a mapmaking game (haven’t decided which one yet) and can’t wait to see what happens!
I followed you on Twitter but I don't see the option to DM you? I wrote a full review of Classic Last Tea Shop on my blog a few days ago and would be happy to write another one (or just send private feedback; whichever you prefer) for the extended version if you could send it my way. Good luck with the finishing touches of the extended version! I can't wait to play.
I really enjoyed this solo journaling game! The atmosphere was absolutely wonderful and I got really into creating backstories for my patrons through the shopkeeper’s questions. I love how the Veiled One is cast as neither sinister nor benign in the rules. The game is VERY fun when enjoyed for its own sake, but imo has an additional use as a series of writing exercises for characterization and atmosphere. I’m going to be sharing this with my writing club!
