Alright now!
Work on LONG HAUL 1983 began in May 2020.
Much of the core text was written in the summer of 2020, at the height of the pandemic, as my partner and I lived an extremely distanced life in a 13-foot camper trailer. (We were alone, living simply, working our way from west coast to east coast to be closer to our families.)
The first round of playtesting happened in November 2020.
A second round in February 2021.
And now it's March, and LONG HAUL 1983 has been released into the world.
I'm very proud of the design -- and the way it twists and tweaks the Wretched & Alone structure. I love its colors. I love the 26-track playlist/soundtrack, full of awesome period-appropriate music. I love that the game has a period. I love that players are already starting to produce amazing recordings and performances ... including an incredibly memorable playthrough recorded on an actual tape-driven answering machine.
I sincerely hope you enjoy it.
