Babel is a single-player journaling rpg in which you play an amnesiac archaeologist exploring the tower of babel.

It's 20 pages, with strong graphic design, clean layout, and an overall really consistent and solid visual impression.

Mechanically, Babel uses the Wretched & Alone engine, so expect jenga and dice rolls and winning being a matter of luck as much as it is a matter of endurance. However, it also uses a scrabble set to track your progress towards remembering your True Name.

Atmosphere-wise, Babel has a strong eerie/gothic feel to it, while still maintaining a sense of mystery and grandeur. The quest you're on is significant, with major implications if you succeed, and the environment is sometimes dangerous, but not overtly scary.

Overall, if you want a journaling game where you feel like you're part of something bigger, and if you like suspense and maybe a sudden anticlimax, definitely check this out. If you haven't yet checked out any journaling games and you tend to like adventure and survival elements, this is probably also a neat place to start.
