Otherland
Otherland is a map-making game for one or more players, focused on curious journeys into a strange country — the country called (in various sources) Fairyland, Neverland, or Otherland.  Otherland uses a card-based map-generation mechanic, in which we construct a grid of cards face-down on top of a sheet of paper, lifting them one at a time and drawing the map beneath them in the style of an exquisite corpse as we track our journeying. Otherland was written in March and April of 2023, for the Tiny Keepsakes Jam.
