This was the first ever solo RPG I played - I played this a week ago and it was a great intro to solo RPGs!


The design and setting really helped me to put myself in a situation like Fox Mulder - somehow bound to a desk and shooting pencils into the ceiling while my colleagues are allowed to have fun with aliens :D



I must say that I'll probably need to play it a few more times to get the mechanic of the coffee and boss. I had the issue that I had to write 2-3 sentences each time-slot, so I reached the 6 coffees at lunch.. maybe I didn't understand it correctly - but reaching 6 coffee ends the game, right? So I had to End at 13h already.

This felt a bit unsatisfying - but I still(a week later) think about the stories from this one session, so definitely fun!

I also think this is mainly because to took me until almost the end to understand why you wrote "Choose wisely." :D

Or is the "Grab a toilet break after you reach a certain amount of cups" intended to prevent ending the game early? Am I allowed to take a coffee break to skip crossing out a coffee or something like that? At the time I had 5 coffees I was a bit stressed and uncertain if what "a certain amount of cups" really means(if I missed a "take a break now" mechanic) :D


Anyway - I probably figure it out in the next session:D Its already printed!

Hey! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about the game. I'm glad you enjoyed it and could picture yourself in the vibe.

Yes, running out of icons to cross out ends the game. The approach I was going for is to choose WASTE or WORK depending on how much coffee icons or boss icons you have left. So if you're running out of coffee (because you had to reroll a lot during WORK), it's better to go for the die representing WASTE (risking crossing off boss icons instead of coffee icons if you have to keep rerolling).

Anyway, thank you for giving such focused feedback because that means I didn't explain the concepts properly or there should be more icons preventing the game from ending early. Have fun during your next session!
