There's still glimpses of it, in the mirror.
And there will be, until the origin is found
And shattered. Only then, we'll be free.
A solo ttrpg, set in a strange new world where you are haunted by the old one. It's your job to put it to rest.
Created for Solovember 2024 using Princess with a Cursed SRD by Anna Anthropy.

Solstalgia is a surrealist adventure as you travel through mirror dimensions looking for the origin of the "Old World" that you can destroy so you may flourish in the new one.
This game is based on the Princess with a Cursed SRD and has you draw tarot cards for each dimension you travel. The game doesn't give you definitive prompts, but instead offers suggestions and allows you to pick and choose or even create your own world based on the suit.
Once you are in that world you decide if you should flip one or two coins depending on if you feel your character knows what it is they should do. Depending on how many heads you flip, things can go very wrong or very right.
The game ends whenever the player feels they have reached the end of the journey, which means the length of the game is extremely variable.
My game is... kinda an incomprehensible word-vomit of glass and mirrors, but it was still fun to write! You can read it HERE
Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you had fun with it, and thanks for sharing your play-through!
I got to read this before publication and: the vibes are immaculate and I love the poetic styling of the text. It rules. People should read it
