Hi everyone,

I just released Solitary, a solo journaling RPG about memory, guilt, and confronting the past.

You play as a prisoner condemned to die. Each day, you draw a card, remember a fragment of your life, and write your story — piece by piece — in a journal no one may ever read.

• Minimalist solo RPG using a standard deck of cards.

• Focuses on reflection, regret, and emotional storytelling.

• No stats, no puzzles — just pure memory and voice.

Note: I developed Solitary with creative assistance from ChatGPT by OpenAI, using it as a writing and development tool to help refine the game's prompts, tone, and structure.

I'd love to hear your thoughts if you play it! Thanks so much for checking it out.

(Content Warning: The game explores themes of death, guilt, isolation, and memory.)

Such an ambitious project! I love it, but I don't know if I'll ever have such an experience... maybe I'll read Kafka and listen to Richter instead :)

Thanks so much!

I'm really glad the inspiration I listed — Kafka and Richter — resonated with you.

Whether you play Solitary or just sit with the idea of it, I really appreciate you taking a look!
