Orizuru: a half-formed thing
Orizuru is a single-player tabletop story game about transforming into a beautiful bird. You’ll play a character who undertakes some kind of transformational quest to take themselves from who they are now, to becoming something new. You’ll take a square piece of paper, write on it, fold it and reflect on the result. Orizuru is the third in a series of shortform story games written by Marx Shepherd of Marx of High Water. It's complete, but feedback and reviews are invaluable for any future development. Note: When downloading the game, please also download the folding instructions.
