Tell the Tale
A downloadable game
A short game about looking for stories in everyday objects. Feedback welcome :)
How to play?
Look at the world around you and focus on an interesting object. Optionally, take a photo of it. Describe it in one sentence.
Draw a card to find a prompt - this is the root of your tale.
Optional. Roll the dice and add the results to find a twist in the tale – this is supposed to give you an additional detail to fit in your story as you wish. It may be a motivation for one of the characters or a plot twist at the end. You decide.
Write your tale and, if you want to, add the photo.
If you want, you can continue the story of the same object - draw one more card and roll the dice.

I just wanted to tell you now, you put hearts again where spades should be, otherwise I like it! EDIT: Perfect! Also I did the math and factoring in the cards and dice rolls alone, there are over 500 different prompt combinations, and add in any object you use being the third prompt piece, that brings the total to almost infinity! But I'm sure that was the idea, I'm just amazed at the raw potential this game has for stories!
Thank you so much! I'll fix that soon :)
EDIT: It's fixed now :)
