The Molly House is a solo journaling RPG set in 18th-century London. You play as a molly — a character who adopts a carefully crafted persona to survive in a society that demands secrecy and performance.
Using a standard deck of playing cards, you’ll uncover scenes of connection, risk, influence, and quiet resilience. Each card shapes a moment in your character’s story — asking what they show to the world, and what they keep hidden.
🕯 Inspired by history, identity, and emotional roleplay, this is a game about:
-
Living a hidden life in a rigid society
-
Balancing control, performance, and vulnerability
-
Navigating fragile trust, power dynamics, and longing
-
A house that protects — and remembers
It’s designed for quiet, personal play — whether through journaling, spoken monologue, or thoughtful reflection.
