Added some! Hope things get better for you soon!

Hi! I don’t generally offer community copies on recent releases, but I do try to add my games to as many relevant free+PWYW co-op bundles as I can find, so I will make a note that this one ought to be added to one at the next opportunity. I just saw you posted a similar comment on an older game of mine, Constellations, so I’ve gone ahead and added some community copies to that one. 💖

My new solo journaling game out now is called  Unlocking! The game loop is simple: a key appears before you, and you have a limited time to uncover why the key fell into your hands and what you’re meant to do about it—very Quantum Leap coded, you could say. It’s flexible enough to take in any direction: romance, murder mystery, etc. You can even enter new realms and act as the villain!

Each key also “comes with” a companion (“greeter”) and a few optional clues to help you figure out the story behind the key.

I made it for the Choose a Song Jam and was inspired by Taylor Swift’s “I Hate It Here,” specifically that first chorus. 

Video scrolls through the first couple pages as a sneak peek!

This is such a cute idea!

Hi Beth! Just approved! Thank you for commenting, and apologies for missing the earlier email! 🫶🏻

Thank you! I had a lot of fun making it! 🥰

Have you heard?! You’re an anonymous writer reporting on the latest rumors in this solo journaling RPG inspired by Lady Whistledown from Bridgerton and Gossip Girl!

You'll start by establishing a pen name for yourself and a title for your publication, then use the prompts to give readers the scoop. At the end of each issue, you'll also share your predictions about what will happen next now that the secret's out. If you’re right, your audience will keep returning to you for their news. But fair warning: too many blemishes on your sterling reputation will put an end to your writing career!

This game includes options to customize the setting (go historical, fantastical, or modern day—up to you!), who you write about, what kinds of scandals you share with readers, the medium you use to publish, and more! All you need to play is one six-sided die (d6) and a deck of playing cards. A complete standalone solo journaling roleplaying game with no prior RPG experience needed.

Glad you did! Just approved! 💕

Hi Fabian! Apologies if I missed an earlier email—I’ve had a busy past few weeks. Try: megan@fuentespens.ink

MERMAID: A Solo Journaling Game is available now!

In this gentle solo journaling game, you'll take a quiz to learn which mer-species you were born to be, then craft a mersona—including what they look like, where they live, and their unique abilities (options include hydromancy, echolocation, bioluminescence, camouflage, and more!)—to go on undersea adventures. You can completely customize your own action menu, and there are even suggested actions included for each mer-species.

I made this because I grew up loving The Little Mermaid and H2O: Just Add Water. If that was also you, you're going to love this!

If you've played my FAIRY and WITCH games, this game's structure is very similar!

Check out this quick partial scroll-through of the PDF for a sneak peek:

I'm so glad this found you! And thank you for the tip! 🥰

Thank you so much! I've recently been getting really into cozy mysteries and games like Murdle, and I've always loved fairy tales. Glad to hear others like the combo, too!

Added a few community copies. I've never added community copies before, and I didn't see an option to make them available for a specific period of time, so I guessed how many to add.

Thank you! This one was so fun to make and play test with the "board" made of playing cards!

🤯 WILD. Thank you for doing the math, and thank you for taking the time to check out my lil game. I appreciate it! 🥰

UPDATE: FAIRY has now been published!
