The Afternoon Train Home
You are a spiritweaver, a being who walks in between worlds. Your purpose is to spool up memory thread from those who have died to be reused for the living. You catch the afternoon train each day and get off at three stops where the thread goes through. At each stop, you'll relive the memory as the person experienced it before you spool it up.  This game is played with a standard pack of cards and a journal if you wish to record it, but it is not necessary for the gameplay.  Physical copies available here
