Become a Zinester ($3) or higher on our Patreon before September 24th, 2025 to get this zine for free, plus all of the zines we've released over the last month! You can even get this zine and EVERYTHING we've released over the last month FREE with a one-week trial of our Gamer tier!

You are friends, family, or perhaps random strangers bored in line at a gas station who all suddenly realize you've been to Bourbon, Indiana, a small little town without much to do. Did you visit either (or both!) of the town's dollar stores? Check out the town gazebo, a local hangout spot? Or perhaps you hit up the Redbox kiosk and relaxed for the night.

Players roll dice and share experiences blending the results of two separate tables, but once too many players tell the same stories over again (as we Midwesterners are wont to do), everyone goes their own way and the reminiscence concludes.

Find out what you did in a town I've spent over a third of my life in! 😀

Note: the demo versions are the same as the full version, they're merely missing the background art. If that's all you want, then enjoy! 😀 The paid version includes the plain text version as well as a full color one, each of which comes in Legal or A5 page size and as an .svg or a .pdf. If you're willing and able, support via purchase is greatly appreciated and will encourage me to make even more games, but it's certainly not necessary 🙂

Added December 7th, 2022: There's now a zine version of the game! It's an 8-page zine using photos taken by Angel of Bourbon, Indiana itself, and you can grab it along with the other files by purchasing the game (or if you've already purchased it). OR you can even order a copy mailed to you in the US (you'll also get all of the digital files if you do so) by selecting the option below (US addresses only, but feel free to have it mailed to someone you know in the US, it doesn't have to be you).

How Do I Fold It Though?

This video is a great example of how to fold an 8-page zine! This is only used for the zine file, though, as the others don't need to be folded :D
