heard
A downloadable game
Heard is a small experimental journaling game (as in, writing with dice), much like the original game built with these mechanics, Silent. It is intended to be lightweight and simple, very fiction forward, while supporting a full arced journey and demanding real choices that feel meaningful.
Like its earlier incarnation, this is a prototype, one I'm still iterating on. It features a less difficult theme than the slow release of the afterlife; if you enjoy media focused on political intrigue, bloody vengeance, and fiery passions, you'll find much to enjoy here. There is also space for a gentler, nobler, or more uplifting journey, if you look for it.
Have fun.

Hello, I love your games and am trying this one out. I was hoping for some clarification on character creation.
The first elements in that chart all sound positive, how do I interpret that as a bad reputation?
My first thought is to invert it, or take it to an unhappy extreme. Say you get "endure"; you're so stoic you refuse to admit anything's wrong. You're locked off. You're cold. Perhaps you refuse to accept anyone else's failures or flaws. I think that was the intent; I may also have made a typo, and I'll definitely review. Happy holidays!!!
