You killed a god 
and they are dying slowly.

This game is about a dying god who spends the last of their days, isolated, with the one who killed them. 

This game is about a mortal who killed a god - the reason isn't important - the Sun doesn't care about the reason. The Sun and the Moon torment the killer, who can only find refuge in the shadow of the dying god.

This is a story about guilt, regret, shame and the love beneath it all.

The game can be played solo, however it is better suited for duet play, with one player as the killer and the other as the god. It is GMless and relies on rolling through tables for prompts and the main mechanic is opt-in, to see how well the god protects their own killer from the Sun as their strength wanes.

You will need a d12 and a d4, or an online roller. 

As of 14/7/24, this game is fresh out of the brain so edits and revisions may come.

This is my second attempt at writing a game, constructive feedback is always appreciated though the fate of this project is indeed unknown~ I'd be happy to hear if a good few people tried it out and enjoyed it. Reviews, APs, solo-journalling extracts are all welcome!
