Shelter
Shelter is a small game for two that uses touch as a storytelling mechanic. Each player will take turns playing the Wanderer, a pilgrim journeying to the mythical City of Scarabs to reunite with their lost love. While your partner plays the Wanderer, you will describe the cruel environment and craft a dream-like landscape with obstacles drawn from your fears. It should take about an hour, or less, to play. Shelter was initially published in the Indie Mixtape Vol. 1 in 2014, and now available in the Indie Mixtape Megamix. The Megamix has many great games from a number of fantastic designers -- if you like Shelter, please consider picking it up! Photo by adrian on Unsplash
