Image shows: an iPad Pro tablet with an Apple Pencil stylus balancing on the corner. The screen shows the front cover of Stare Back. An intricate mirror gilded frame is lit by the glowing mirror it holds.
Image shows a horde of sketchy eyes staring at the viewer.
Image shows a photo of an arch, with sketches drawn over the top. A grid of eyes against a myriad of skin tones sits to the right of the arch.
Image shows a massive heart, spurting viscera violently outwards.
Image shows a collaged statue of Athena, staring across at a photo of a Tudor-style house. Sketches atop Athena give her jewelery, armour and a dagger, while sketches on the building set it on fire, with smoke escaping the upper windows, as well as a flag flying from its tallest point and a monster swiping from its lowest window.

Stare Back

A solo-play rpg, ask the big questions: who are you, and how have you got here?

A 20 page PDF filled with brightly coloured imagery, barely pushing above the 400 word count. Session lasts 5-10 minutes. Quick to pick up, try and then repress!

If you're extra crafty, you should be able to find the hidden bonus 👀

Accessibility: Can be played with a mirror and dry-erase pen, but also with digital drawing apps, or purely by drafting text (for visual impairment). Plain text version of the rules comes with image descriptions; main pdf is untagged (sorry, still learning how to do that!)

CW: Minor horror, personal questions
