Darling Amongst the Dust
Darling Amongst the Dust is a solo, GM-less journaling game about trying to survive in a bleak, post-apocalyptic world while losing touch with yourself and what it means to be human. This world will not leave you unchanged and it is not an easy world to survive in, but if you're lucky, you just might make it. Some relevant content warnings for this game are: themes of isolation, body horror, self injury, hallucinations, violence and death, both human and animal. Please be kind to yourself and play at your own risk. This work is based on The Wretched, product of Chris Bissette and Loot The Room, and licensed for our use under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license.
