Among the Ruins
In this game, you play archaeologists on a lonesome alien planet that was once thought to have been devoid of life. However, ruins of an alien civilization have been discovered, and it's your job to figure out who these people were and what their lives might have been like. This is a one-page GMless map drawing mini-game that requires no prep.
