Vast Death Temple

Vast Death Temple is a solo, GM-less journaling game using the Wretched & Alone formula originally created by Chirs Bissette with modifications I made at my own leisure.

Requires: pencil, paper, at least one d6 (possibly more or use digital), one deck of playing cards, optionally a second deck of tarot or similar cards, 10 small totems and a tumbling tower (or a d20).

This game was created for the Random Adventure Jam hosted by Chris Bissette on itch.io using the Random Adventure Title Generator.

In this game your goal is to make amends in an attempt to escape your guilt and the sentence of death. You’ll be facing your inner demons and worst fears as you walk the lonely halls of the Vast Death Temple. You’ll also be drawing a map of the place (if you want to).

This game have not been playtested yet by other people than me. Nevertheless, I hope you’ll have as much fun playing it as I had writing it. If you have any comments or critiques I hereby encourage you to share them!

Note: the content warning may be stronger than what actually is written in the game but it's better to be safe.
