Hello, I played this today and it reminded me of my anatomy semester back when I was in med school. Some memories of then still haunt me whether we were geninely respectful to our cadavers and your game made me contemplate about it. We tend to squish vast amount of medical knowledge in 6-year- curriculum and these ethical questions tend to be undermined; which is a real shame because those questions are the ones that are more difficult in real life than diagnosing and prescribing medications.
I absolutely enjoyed your prompts, the structure, aesthetics and instructions and most of all, your thoughts. I posted my playthrough on my blog if you want to check it out.
Thank you for a thought provoking game and I wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Well, I hadn't seen this theme before and I have to say it was a very interesting experience. The design is incredible, congratulations, and the prompts are very cool, I struggled a bit, because I didn't have the deck of cards, but I managed to emulate it in an application, everything worked out! I just wanted to suggest a low ink version, maybe, if possible, I'm that old school player who likes to have everything printed haha
Thanks for your comment, I’m glad the theme was new and interesting! A low ink version is definitely a good idea. I’ll work on adding that, thanks for the suggestion
I was drawn by the topic of this game right from the start. The layout is stunning! The list of events and prompts are thought provoking, and pose greater questions about science, progress and ethics. This is a fantastic solo RPG!
One small question, how many cards are you supposed to drawn per act/suit?
This is such a nice comment, I'm so happy you enjoyed the game. Thanks for playing it!
And good question–I intended on players drawing one card per act, but I suspect it also might work if players try to draw multiple cards. Definitely info to include in the future.
Very interesting! It's always clear when an author feels strongly about the topic they're writing about, and that comes through in this. I ended up writing my character as kind of a thoughtless, naive young guy (maybe because it felt like I had to be a little thoughtless and naive to do what I was doing), but it'd be interesting to try again and see if I can do it again as an older, wiser character.
Thanks very much for your comment! It's interesting reading your session report. Frederick does seem a little naive, but it sounds like he believes he's doing things for the best. I'm glad you thought the game was interesting and hopefully a little thought-provoking. It's definitely a topic I'm passionate about–thanks for checking it out!

Here's the quick session report for my sweet little dumb-dumb, Frederick:
