The Vigil of the Beast
A downloadable game
The Vigil of the Beast is a solo epistolary game about chronic mental illness played over the course of several nights. Each session of play, you will determine the night's scenario by rolling a 10 sided die or otherwise randomly selecting a number between 1 and 10 (keeping in mind that if not using a die, you must be able to repeat nights). When each night has been played once, the game ends.
IMPORTANT:
This game is intended to show what it is like living with chronic mental illness as an empathy exercise, but also a game that anyone can play. I based it on my experience, then wrote it to be universally applicable since mental illness often does not manifest the same way for everyone. As such, there are some scenarios in the game that (while abstracted) may be difficult to respond to or read through.
These include:
-Self harm -Isolation
-Suicide attempts -Harsh self-directed language

Esse jogo é bastante interessante, mas nao teria uma versao mais agradável para impressão?
Há um arquivo txt anexado que é mais fácil de imprimir. O arquivo pdf é destinado para reprodução on-line e não precisa ser impresso. O jogo é "print and play" porque não é software. Lamento se isso não é legível, não falo português.
Deu ora entender, está tudo bem hehe, farei o possível pra imprimi-lo, e consigo ler legal inglês, mas obrigado mesmo assim o jogo é legal :D
