🤝 Inclusive design Inclusive design is separate from a game’s queer labels. It marks games whose design is deliberately inclusive even when not queer-themed: romance or marriage mechanics with no gender constraint, character creation without a forced gender binary, gender-neutral rules language, or table safety tools. Each marker shows where we found it.

  • Character creation free of a gender binary
    According to the game’s rulebook
    “They can have distinct gender expressions and identities as well as different tastes, sexual orientations, etc.”

Description

You, the players, play as Insiders who all share one single body. Not everyone can be in control at once, even though several Insiders might attempt to control their common body at the same time. You form what is called a System. As such, you have to navigate through everyday life in the Outside World, all the while dealing with dire shit in your Innerworld. When your Systems' psyche comes at a breaking point, a Trauma Dungeon appears in your Innerworld. It's up to the players inside to clear the shit out of it before things get out of hand. 3+ players and a GM. Built on Caltrop Core. French version coming soon Side note: I've been having comments from people telling me that this game reminded them of Everyone is John. This game isn't anything like Everyone is John. Everyone is John has been designed by someone who is obviously not mad and finds madness to be a source of amusement. Its main premise is basically "you're crazy and you have obsessions you must fulfill and it's fun because you can do random shit also you're crazy lol". You Are (Not) One, on the other side, focuses on care, understanding and empathy. One of its goal is to give players a better understanding of plurality and what it means to have this kind of mental health issues. In no way it is making fun of madness and disabilities.
