The Mothhouse is a solo journaling game I just published.

You are the last keeper of a stone house on a ridge between the living and the departed. Moths arrive at night with remnants of messages. You tend the lamps, keep a ledger of what they bring, and decide what to send back before the ridge gives way.

Play is structured in nights: roll a d6, draw from a standard 52-card deck, and answer that card's prompt. All 52 prompts are in the book, with a dice-only variant if you have no cards, plus an oil track and journal pages. Nine printable pages, $5.
