This game premise is so cool. This is perfect for games especially with 0 Level funnels. You can get a lot of mileage of it from games like Shadowdark! I am definitely going to be running this with my table in the future! Thank you :-D

Happy you liked it! Let me know how it goes! It's a one-page distillation of rules I was already working on for use at my table.

That is so awesome. Also since the game really interested me, I made a video featuring it in some of my favorite rpg jam games of 2023! I thought you'd like to see the feature (it is at the beginning of the video).

Thank you again for making this awesome game!
