The Connection Machine
The Connection Machine is an RPG adventure set in surreal four-dimensional landscapes that explore trauma, attachment issues, and search for meaningful connections among players who confront them as PTSDemons with memories from their past lives intertwined into each new reality they experience. This game requires at least two six sided dice (each colour) plus writing tools such a quantum computer - the titular Connection Machine -- to maintain stable hypercubes in parallel dimensions, where participants navigate and explore surreal landscapes while dealing with trauma that echoes through their memories as PTSDemons leading them towards healing or further damage.
