The lights are going out. The darkness drew in fast, cutting many communities off completely. The shadows snuffed light after light, settlement after settlement, until only a vanishing few remained. This game follows 3 of those remaining settlements, holding out against all odds. 3 Shining Motes is a single-player journaling game, played with a deck of playing cards, a 4-sided die, a 6-sided die, 4 tokens and whatever method you choose to record the events that unfold. A game takes approximately an hour to play. Each turn you'll answer a prompt, either a disaster within one of your settlements or a reason for hope, then watch the shadows spread. Hope will prevail, eventually, if even one settlement survives the tide of darkness. Can the flame of hope burn on, or will it fall to the shadows?
