We've got a Google form up! We've been communicating pretty much entirely through Bluesky on this one; sorry for the miss!

For folks reporting a problem with the link, we still have no idea why it works for some and not for others. If you're one of the unlucky ones, you can find the form here:

Hmm. Working fine on our end. We'll look into it! Meanwhile, here's the direct link to the form:

All of it well deserved! Congratulations!

Ah! A very happy birthday to you! Glad we could help celebrate!

"The tone balances sincerity and joy in a way I found compelling, and the design nudges players to bring vulnerability to the table without demanding trauma as spectacle. It does more with emotional stakes than some prestige games do with 300 pages of rules.”

"The Situation Builder is a narrative scaffolding tool of real quality—it offers enough structure to resist floundering, while being flexible enough to support emergent stories. I think this could work exceptionally well in mixed-media or asynchronous play."

Comments From Our Judges:
"This is the kind of debut game I wish I had made: unflinching but hopeful, clear in voice, and not trying to please everyone. The ‘Personality and Hardship’ discoveries are exactly the kind of low-prep, high-payoff mechanics I love."

"Let’s be honest: most ‘play yourself’ games either collapse under their own sincerity or drift into shallow novelty. This one doesn’t. It earns the conceit by backing it with real narrative and mechanical stakes. Asking "When do you stop being human, and does it matter?" is quietly haunting."

"I'm impressed by how this game understands tone at a granular level. It allows crazy goblin fun and profound tenderness to coexist without breaking immersion. That tonal elasticity is an underappreciated skill, and I think this game nails it."

Comments From Our Judges:
"The act of transmuting personal memories into in-world magic—and having that come at a cost—is both thematically resonant and mechanically consequential. It's a rare thing for a game to attempt emotional fluency without ever becoming clinical or preachy."
