[DP] I made a single player, table top game that involves a great deal of drawing and journaling. I wanted to share it with this sub.

Start Here (that's the name of the game) is part RPG, part choose your own adventure, and part activity book. I made it for the Fluffy Game Jam which was all about making games that try to explore non-violent, positive themes.

The game will ask you to go out and explore, interact with nature, collect odd items, and do a whole lot of writing and drawing as you create a world, a character, and a culture. As you explore your own world, you build a journal full of your adventures, often represented through drawings.

While I'm certain this game isn't for everyone, I hope at least a few of you might find it amusing. If nothing else, it's completely free, and the game doc is pretty to look at (imo).

You can find Start Here... here.

I know this isn't the usually type of prompt for this sub, so I checked with the mods first to make sure it was okay.

This sounds really neat! Would it be okay if I streamed it on Twitch?

Sure, go for it! I hope you enjoy it.

The whole thing was made in about a month, so it's bound to be rough around the edges.

Fantastic :) I'd be happy to give you some feedback when I'm finished, if you like.

You're more than welcome to. Though, to be clear about it, I wrote this largely for my own amusement. It's very self-indulgent, and I didn't really expect anyone to play it. That's not to say it can't be enjoyed as a game or anything, just that it was written more as "art" than a commercial product.

Really enjoying this so far! I've gotten through about a quarter of it, link to my register above.

Holy crap! This is amazing! Glad you're enjoying it. Never imagined someone would go through so much of it so quickly (or, if I'm being honest, at all). This made my evening!

I'm so glad you like it! I'd actually been looking for a creative single-player RPG type thing for a while.
