Just finished my first playthrough, that was quite an emotional experience! I dabble in creative writing now and then, there's something about the mechanics of this game that made the words flow. I was surprised at how quickly my character's life and mindset took shape, prompt by prompt. Thank you!

Thank you for reporting back, it means a lot to me! If you ever publish your playthrough, I'd love to read it.

Thank you very much for the experience. I was genuinely fond of having Fear and Hope as a mechanical device, because it set the experience apart from journal-style games where you'd have to construct that narration on your own. It gave me guideposts and a tone to listen for when progressing through the game. 

You've met and exceeded your goals of "making the move be the game" in doing that. And the prompts' escalation when you work down the tables brought home the sense of at least trying to come to terms with your fate. You crossed that finish line, too, and then some.

If you'd like to see someone's experience with your system, here's a link to my actual play blog: https://themaddestsailor.wordpress.com/2022/03/29/adrift-one-shot/

Thank you so much for your kind words and for the actual play. That was a powerful read!

Would you mind if I linked to it on the game page itself?

Hello

I just finished a translation of your game Adrift in French.

It's available on my blog at http://www.jeepeeonline.be/2019/10/a-la-derive-version-francaise-du-jeu-de.html

Really a very good game, Gravity-like. That inspires me for a game, still a project in my mind, about the survival in a hostile space environment or planets like Mars, reference to The Martian by Andy Weir.

Thanks for this great game !

Hi

Your solo rpg is very funny but also a little bit desperating :-)

I'm working on a translation in french. 

Would you agree that I post this translation on my blog?

Of course, your name would appear on the cover and in the credits.


Thx

Regards,

JeePee
