New Game: Bound

Bound is a single player and two player setting agnostic game about the connection between two people as they travel to a destination, through the destruction of the world, on a journey they will most likely not complete.

The player(s) will create two characters, their relationship to one another, the destruction that haunts them, and the motive for them to move forward.

The game uses two decks of cards, one representing each character, and 10 tokens, 5 representing how close they are to the destination, and 5 how close the destruction is to them. 

For the single player version, the player will be asked to write scenes in first person, switching perspectives between characters, and using their personality traits and subjective conceptualizations of each other to answer prompts. For more climatic scenes the player will be asked to write in an objective third person, showing dramatic irony and increased tension between the truth and the player's characters' limited perspectives.

For the two player version, each player will take on the role of their characters. Depending on the scene they will either be asking leading questions, answering said questions, or role playing the scene together. 

The journey will most likely end in failure, either through abandonment or death as the chance they succeed is slim, but there is still a chance. 

Bound will be releasing Friday, March 1st.
