Description

You enter the house looking for something in particular, or maybe to sate your endless drive to explore the mysterious. 

The house has rumors that float around it like an endless fog of questions. 

You’re here to get answers.

---

This is a solo journaling game based on the Carta SRD about exploring an abandoned mansion. It uses a grid of cards for the house layout and a token or small item to represent you as you travel through the house and (hopefully) back out again.

The game uses 1 deck of 54 playing cards (52 cards with 2 jokers added), a small token or coin, and paper or digital notepad to journal the experience.

Note: this game has been lightly playtested. Feedback, suggestions, and comments welcome.
