Eurydice?

After the untimely death of the love of his life, Eurydice, the bard of incredible talent, Orpheus, travels to the Underworld to retrieve her. His song moves the rulers of the Underworld, Persephone and Hades, who grant him what he desires on one condition... He must lead her through their domain without looking back upon her until the sun envelops her. If he fails, she will eternally belong to the realm of the dead. We know how the tale ends, but what happens along the way is yours to create! Tell the story of Orpheus's trial to retrieve his wife in this micro-RPG, Eurydice? Each moment tests Orpheus's trust in himself. Roll dice Find and respond to the corresponding story prompt about a moment on Orpheus's trek back to the surface, guiding Eurydice. Cross out the prompt. Repeat until you roll a prompt that has been crossed out. When this happens, proceed to the conclusion. This is a micro-RPG you can play in a short amount of time or at length, depending on how in-depth you want to tell your tale. In addition to the game, you will have access to my design process, from concept notes to playable prototypes to the shipped zine. Above are some iterations on this project.
