Indie Groundbreaker Award 2020 nominee for Most Innovative
A short collection of four games by Avery Alder.
Finding girlhood through witchcraft and bravery through stray feathers. Reaching back to ancient magics and forward to alien encounters. This collection contains four games, loosely defined – each straddles the line between poetry, roleplay, self-help, and magical invitation. They’re all solo pervasive games, meant to be played in the margins of your life.
54 pages, b&w.
