How to Host a God
A mushroom-themed storytelling card game for two players where the Mushroom God grows into an enormous power source through a human host over several acts (plus prelude/epilogue). Players narrate their actions to create and control characters, ultimately coming together but facing challenges as growth becomes unsustainable. Game may touch on themes such as physical transformation, loss of identity or individuality, cults, dreams & prophecy while avoiding explicit sexual content or violence in the horror genre setting without any references thereto involving dark subjects like mentioned above (e.g., mushroom germination and power/growth).
