Space Jellyfish Overhead

This is an ancient place, known only as Land. The people of Land seek to live in harmony with the sea and the sky.

Once a generation, a bloom of giant jellyfish fills the skies above. The Visitors descend, stay a few days, and then leave for many years. Nobody knows why they come or where they go, but the Elders teach that they are messengers from the stars.

A select few possess an innate ability to communicate with the jellyfish. Known as Jelly Watchers, these individuals journey through wild places in search of signs heralding the Visitors’ impending arrival. They listen to the jellyfish songs, learn their secrets, and share their wisdom with the people of Land.

Space Jellyfish Overhead is a solo journaling tabletop role-playing game set in the world of Land. Once in a generation, interstellar jellyfish appear in the skies. The player takes on the role of a Jelly Watcher—an individual capable of communicating with the mysterious Visitors.

Players journey through wild areas, seeking signs of the Visitors' arrival. The game blends introspective journaling with deep time. Players uncover lost truths, assess threats and chart a path forward for their community—all influenced by the strange space jellyfish above.
