Lone Archivist is someone I really admire in the ttrpg space so I had to check this out upon seeing it in my feed. This is a slick game in an even slicker format (I have a feeling the one page game/gm-screen hybrid will catch on and become a thing and that's exciting).
The rules are simple but enough to get going and motivated. I personally think zombie/outbreak type of games do better with less rules/definition and allows players to learn and adapt as you would in a panicked situation. I would personally rather play this than a big chunkie zombie game, the point isn't doing math it's just scrambling and surviving which feels like it works right with rules lite.
Play will feel familiar to fans of adventure games, especially high lethality d20 fantasy stuff, but it still has a voice of its own. I really like the paperclips as a simple meta thing that you can just have around, especially in this minimalist format, a little clip on thing is such a clever easy solution to passing tokens or something more bespoke.
love this and excited to see where it leads!
