The Words We Leave Behind

You are a Proxy, an agent of change fighting an endless war across time and space. Your missions will reshape reality, bending it towards the future that your superiors desire.

But you are not alone.

You have a counterpart. An agent working for another faction who seeks to shape the flow of history and divert it to their own vision. They are your opposite. Your reflection. Your foil. Your nemesis. You know next to nothing about them.

And they intrigue you…

The Words We Leave Behind is a duet epistolary RPG about time travel and the butterfly effect. Traverse the time stream and rewrite history for your Faction while your opposite number does the same and your changes cascade down the timestream, slowly accumulating to build a new and unexpected history.

The full colour, 80 page game includes the full duet game and The Worlds I Wrote For You—a bonus solo game for the lone time traveller. All you need is two players, a deck of cards each and a way to record and rewrite history.
