You Are a Beacon
Somewhere and somewhen, on the edge of the vast deep, you keep the light shining, even as you prepare for a catastrophic storm. In this solo journalling RPG, you play the keeper of a lighthouse station. You maintain the light, collect information, deal with the sea and its strange gifts, and prepare for the coming storm. When the storm comes, the journal ends in your witnessing of nature’s raw power. Third place (bronze!) in the January 2022 Solo Journalling RPG Jam. #journaljam
