Content Warnings/Trigger Warnings: Isolation, loneliness, death and grief

Show Notes

This week, Fiona is playing ‘The Wretched’,  a solo journaling RPG played with a deck of cards, a tumbling block tower, and a microphone.

Written by Chris Bissette and published by Loot the Room, ‘The Wretched’ is a game about human resilience in the face of overwhelming odds and almost certain death. It is a game about isolation, fear, and perseverance. 

You can find out more about The Wretched and buy other Loot the Room games on their website.
