Is this future (in your game) possible?
'Through the Fog' plays in an abstract post-climate catastrophe future. While this future might not be realistic on every front, the act of listening as a way of (re-)connecting with nature IS a realistic future movement.

Couldn't try it out myself but I really appreciate the details - the story, the world, the sound, the music - as well as the concept of non-anthropocentric communication.

Very interesting UFO concept! 

Sadly I can't play it right now. The setup concept is, in my opinion, too complex for a game jam. But I can imagine this for events and facilitation sessions. In that case, using real animals might be more impactful.

Congrats!

Notes from gameplay:

  • Interesting concept. I've never heard of an audio ttrpg, but it instantly speaks to the accessibility aspect of this jam. This seems like an awesome game concept for blind gamers in particular!
  • Needing an external app is an extra hurdle for gameplay
  • The art design is stark and effective, it's a nice detail to have included to break up the text rules
  • Excellent use of formatting to help lay out rules. Bold, headings, italics all serve their roles well
  • I love the examples for the creature questions - the word choices here are informative, descriptive AND spark creativity (rhizomatic! plastic waste! phase-jumping!). You've crammed in world building and creative prompting really well in just a few words
  • The gameplay itself is easy to figure out. This sounds like a rather fun little game to play with a group, and it seems like it would be easy to pick up quickly!

This is a cool and innovative ttrpg concept! I think the biggest downside might be needing an external app, but for the right player group, I can see this being a beloved, repeated game.
