Letters Alex never wrote
A downloadable game
Your best friend, Alex, died a few days ago.
It rains, you’re alone, but Alex asked you for a last service.
You’ll have to send the invitations for the funeral.
Beside you, there are only 3 names on Alex’s list.
3 names that haven’t spoken to Alex for a long time.
3 storys Alex couldn’t forget.
3 people Alex would’ve hoped to see at the funeral.
You don’t know them, but Alex did. And Alex talked a lot.
You will have to write 3 invitations.
3 letters to convince them to come to Alex’s funeral.
Grab a journal, a dice and some old messages on your phone, and dive into a story about looking back and saying goodbye.
This is my first Solo-RPG and I feel like I left a part of me inside.
I'm curious about the storys you'll live, so please share them bellow!

Great experience about loss, very touching and moving ! The concept is simple and super effective. Really great performance of writing and narrative, it's just enough to let us imagine every possible outcome, with our own perceptions.
I think some comic variations can be too much because of the very intense beginning, but it depends on our own subjectivity, and it's not really a problem.
Thank you for the game !
Thanks a lot for your message!
I'll think about what you say for my next TTRPG (^^ゞ
Beautiful concept, especially thinking about all those who we encounter and lose contact with in life. I love the realness mixed with the fantasy elements. This game evokes a lot of feelings of grief and loss with reflections on life. It leaves me with the questions what ties us and why/how do we choose to stay connected?
Thank you for your comment !
So happy you finished it with these feelings and questions.
Have a nice life! o(^▽^)o
It's a touching game that seems to be inspired by a personal experience.
I was just a bit thrown off by the seemingly modern setting (the usage of messaging apps as gameplay elements) intertwined with some fantastical-sounding prompts in the tables. Was it done voluntarily?
Whatever the case, it's a beautiful game.
Thanks for taking time to write this comment !
The messaging application as a game element was the first idea I had for this project, and I developed upon it. I wanted a game where people could mix elements of their own life with the story, and see their old messages in a new light.
However I understood it could thrown off the experience, I'll try to integrate this a better way if I've similar ideas for next TTRPG !
Thanks again for your message! ♪(^∇^*)
