While I find the setting to be a bit foregon with "the sun is dead" as a theme, I find the mechanics to be neat, nice job with that! Would love to see a trust mechanic to make ot more engaging and to play with that sense of distress!
For what concerns pacing the intention was to leave freedom to players either to just make a short "photography" of characters' lives, or deepening their exploration through a more long and complex plot/Story.
The roles I wrote are based on a setting I didn't find room for in the 200w limit. Something like:
" You have spent all your life in the tribe on the island. Yours is a society of rituals, survival and community life. A mad old man has been screaming for weeks that the sun was about to die. Most did not believe him, and you? Now it's dark, and the whole community is gathered on the beach ..."
So I decided to keep the roles to give readers a hook on what kind of personal trajectories the game was meant to explore, while I tried to leave space for other settings and characters...
