We Contain Solitudes

This is a game about connection, inhibition, and the weight of isolation. It is played through guided prose writing, and prompted soliloquies. The game demands that you be willing to work within constraints, and lean into the strangeness of its structure. You and your partner will take alternating turns, over a sequence of four rounds. On your turn, you lead and your partner follows. In the course of playing the game, you will: Write a few paragraphs of prose that conform to a fixed arrangement of sentences. Collaborate to describe locations in which the main action of the game takes place. Engage in one-sided conversations in character, while responding to questions posed by your partner. Pose questions of your partner while listening intently, and noting significant details of their responses. Collaborate to describe the repeated deaths of the characters. Repeat specific scenes, and embellish those scenes with variations and details as reality unwinds.
