Description
The Grey family has been stuck in a loop. They live the same week every week. Will they break the cycle before the cycle breaks them? 'Dirty Laundry on Live Wires', conceived over a longer period of time but compiled within a week for the Queer Fear Jam 2023 on itch.io, delves into everyday horrors: less of the supernatural kind, and more of the flesh and mind. It’s about the voices in our heads that drive us up the wall, and the lies we tell people we love but also ourselves. This game takes the dirty laundry of a dysfunctional family and airs it out on live wires. But this game is also about healing, about the little moments we carve out for each other, about carrying someone’s burdens for a wee bit while they recover. This game is inspired by Public Access and compatible with games Carved from Brindlewood and, in general, RPG mechanics that favour collaborative narration. Public Access and Brindlewood Bay are creations of Jason Cordova and Gauntlet Publishing. This is not affiliated with them. PS: I know there are typos. I'm just tired of looking at this right now. 😩Update is to be expected after another round of playtesting.
