My Soul to Keep
My Soul to Keep is a solo, gm-less journaling game in which you play a young child plagued by night terrors and struggling with their faith.  You will deal with challenges and abuses during the day and translate your traumas into the horrors that haunt your dreams. You will draw cards and write journal entries based on specific prompts in order to craft a story about faith and doubt. Is the real threat the monsters under the bed or your parents' religious fundamentalism? This game is based on The Wretched by Chris Bissette and was created for the Wretched & Alone Jam. Content Warning: This game includes themes of child abuse, religious trauma, fear, isolation, and unreality.
