Inscrutable Cities
Inscrutable Cities is a unique storytelling game that combines elements of role playing games (RPG), interactive fiction stories or fanfictions, meditation from an alternate universe to create new worlds through traveling them by combining multiple dimensions using only words. The shortest possible complete play-through takes about half and hour without any cards/dice required for the gameplay process which is suitable both solo as well with a group in person & remote mode of playing Inscrutable Cities is based on Invisible Cities, inspired to some extent from Italo Calvinco's works like "The City That Never Sleeps" but mainly focuses on re-experiencing awe and mystery without his unrelenting fixation on women
