Picking Up the Pieces
This solo journal-writing RPG is about processing grief after surviving an event. The game involves using a set of 31 sticks and 8 support sticks to answer prompts detailing the journey through different stages of grieving, with tension baked into some levels but avoiding direct references or commentary on therapy tools. Players can choose where their story takes them within this narrative framework while remaining responsible for any erratic behavior due to mental health conditions related to grief processing such as drugs/alcohol and nightmares that may arise from playing out the game's fictional scenarios based off real-life events, with an option at a later time to access support resources if needed. To play "Grief Processing" in its entirety:
