WHO KILLED GOD?
A downloadable game
YOUR GOD IS DEAD, and you’re the unlucky soul tasked with figuring out who killed em. As sheriff, you are working to uncover the truth behind this tragedy before your parish’s rage boils over and makes the situation even worse.
There’s someone or something on the loose that can kill a god, and it’s hard to know who to trust nowadays. You know you can rely on your horse, your gun, your faith, and your lawman’s intuition.
Ride carefully, partner. There’s trouble afoot.
---------------------------------
WHO KILLED GOD? is a solo journaling game of divine catastrophe and small-town suspicion in a Weird West setting. This book has prompts and mechanics to help guide you, but it is up to you to follow the clues to wherever they lead, whether that's to redemption or ruin.
You play as your town's sheriff, trying to find the party or parties responsible for the death of your god. You will explore various locations around town, meet with townsfolk, and attempt to gather evidence while getting yourself out of tricky predicaments and tight spots. At the end of the game, you'll find out whether or not you were right.
To play, you will need:
- This book
- Pen and paper, or a word processor
- A set of dice: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12
- A coin (d2)
- A deck of playing cards - shuffled, jokers removed
- 30 - 90 minutes
This book contains mention of violence, death, injury, kidnapping, betrayal, substance use, and bodily transformation, but you’re ultimately in control of what you do and do not want to include in your story.
