You had me at solo horror TTRPG! Inspired by Puppet Combo games, too?
This is a dark dystopian dream set in an all-too-relatable modern world. The mechanics are light but enough to engage the imagination for the narrative prompts. The horror isn't an esoteric cult far away in the woods summoning an elder god, it's desperate people in a neighborhood near you taking a chance risking more than they know for no more than some free groceries.
Sometimes "free" means the real price is more than you'll want to pay.
Looking forward to playing this. If you play, my advice is not to read the whole thing as I did, but take it a page at a time. Keep a record of your play, inventing details as prompted.
Oh, yep. It was definitely designed to be played as it was read, and I don't think I communicated that as effectively as I should have.
I don't do a ton of solo game work, so a good bit of this was just me tinkering with mechanics and ideas. I'll roll the knowledge I got from it forward into my next thing.
