Description

A Carta solo journaling game of exploring (and escaping) mysterious islands.

You step onto the pebbled shores of another world. Before you sprawls an archipelago, each misty isle scattered with odd contraptions and ancient ruins. On the central island where you now stand, a mysterious tower rises above it all, the domed top reflecting the golden glow of an ever-setting sun.You know three things about this curious place . .

This land is called Rillem. It was once home to the B'ni, a race of rabbitlike explorers that traveled between worlds until their kingdom fell.

The one you are seeking is somewhere on these isles. You know they have been trapped here, but the location of their prison is unknown.

The foundations of Rillem have been crumbling for years. This world will finally end in three days, and you are already running out of time. . .

In this solo journaling RPG, you'll explore a hidden world of strange islands by discovering devices, uncovering forgotten lore, and searching for the prisoner who is trapped in this place. But time is short, and this world is dying. Can you find them and escape before this reality collapses around you both?

By making notes and sketches as you move your token around the map, you'll be left with a physical relic of this lost world at the end of the game.

If you enjoy the game , I'd love to hear about it! Share your thoughts in the comments or over on Bluesky!
