I played through this. It took me about 45 minutes to write a short story of sorts using the prompts from the cards. This is a fun premise and I enjoyed playing it. I will definitely play it again.

If you do make a Version 2, perhaps adding some direct prompts to help facilitate the game more (e.g. Aces are plot twists or something like that). I used Jokers when I played and treated them as "attacks" from the lurking entity in my story. They are too few so I might improvise something else next time I play.

Keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing this with everyone!

Hi! Thanks for the comments. I'm glad you enjoyed the game. 

I also appreciate the suggestions for an expanded edition. I tried to think of ways to integrate some specific prompts in this version but struggled due to the 36-word limit of the jam. 

I definitely want to add some prompts that would help build out a stronger/more complex narrative. I also thought about (1) creating an audio track to be used while playing the game that would have some audio cues embedded in it, and (2) creating some "artifacts" (notes, pictures, clues) that could be randomly uncovered over the course of the week-long investigation.

I just need a week or two off from my day job to get it all done.

Best,

All of that sounds brilliant. Can't wait to play it. Take your time though. The 36-word version is very fun as is and it fit nicely into my lunch break at work so Bingo! Thanks for that!
