Thanks so much for the kind words! Whoops, that does sound like a mistake--thanks for catching it! I will try to remember to fix and reupload when I am feeling less swamped/exhausted 😅

Made another, more traditional Carta game for the Road Trip Jam: https://panickyintheuk.itch.io/in-search-of-a-song
Thanks for the SRD! I love making these!
I've played a couple of other Carta games but this is my favourite so far. I really liked the combination of drawing and journalling, and as a cartography game I appreciate the simplicity (others I've looked at have often been a bit intimidating). From a game design point of view, I thought that having to balance the countdown with trying to maximise traversal was smart (though I forgot about the latter until about halfway through my playthrough, so still had quite a bit left on my countdown by the end--my bad).
As a storygen tool, I like how much of the worldbuilding is left to the player. There's a lot of freedom here.
Thanks for the game!
Apologies for replying to such an old comment but I came here to say something similar. I'm pretty new to playing solo TTRPGs, so I wondered if I was missing something. I actually forgot to do the journaling at all when I played, and I don't know what I would have written. I wonder if drawing would be better?
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the feedback on the mechanism; I changed it pretty late in the day as I felt my original approach was too easy, but I never really cracked how the special move should work (it's pretty much entirely for flavour as is, which is fine but it could definitely be more interesting)--I like your idea a lot. This is my first physical game, so I'm still learning! Thanks again for the comment and thoughts.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm glad you liked it - I know it was a little human-heavy for the brief, but I thought about a few other ideas and this was the only one that really grabbed me. I'm also a fan of benevolent AI.
I'm still trying out different tools and figuring out which ones work for me. I did like working with inklewriter, but it's still in beta and I had some issues with incorporating images, which I initially intended to do. Maybe I'll give ChoiceScript a try next time!
At least, it seems to be? Maybe I'm just being dense. Either way, the deadline looms, so here's a link to my story instead. Please be kind - this is only my second game ever, and the first was just a quick practice run in Twine. I'm still learning! Hope you like it.
