A Friend in Me
Inspired by Calvin and Hobbes, Winnie the Pooh, Toy Story, and My Neighbor Totoro. This Solo Journalling RPG encourages the players to explore how a Child grows over the course of their life with a fantastical Friend encouraging and challenging them in a partnership, not unlike the friendships of children's books, fairy tales, and folklore.This Alpha version of the game is free to download and a rough starting point that should be suitable to playtest and get feedback from. Please do not pull your punches, let me know what can be changed and improved upon so that I can produce the best version of this game possible.
