Near Hollow Gods
A downloadable game
It all ended so suddenly. As their last, swift and mighty act, the Gods saved existence over themselves. Their magic gathered everything and threw it out again, resulting in a chaotic mess of land, sea, and stars. Still, the working stuck, and slowly, over the past decade, souls have returned to living bodies in this new Jumbled Cosmos.

This is a wonderful way to structure a solo adventure. I wasn't at all familiar with Brighthammer before playing this, but it’s been rather simple to learn with the way the adventure helps to build up your character. All in all a good way to play a solo game.
I'm so glad you liked it Geana.
I can't seem to find any info on this outside of this product description anywhere on the internet. Can you share a sample page?
I apologize, this slipped my mind.
However, I have added a sample. Feel free to download it.
I've never played a solo ttrpg made to be a solo and not just me attempting to play a ttrpg by myself before, so this was new to me! It was a great story and I had so much fun writing it that I ended the adventure in a week with 385 pages as my "notes" doc. I love the different choices you're given and how whimsical everything feels when you play it. Every single setting you come across has its own unique feel and it really does drive home the idea that you're living in an actual universe that was smooshed together in a hurry by the gods.
All in all, I had a ton of fun playing this game, and I might end up playing it again in a completely different way in the future. And that's the cool part! I can totally do that and get a story with similar plot beats but the story itself will be entirely different. The game gives you enough guidance so that you don't feel like you're having to make everything up by yourself while also giving plenty of leeway to make the story what you want it to be.
tldr; Very good, 10/10
Thank you so much for the review. It sounds the game works exactly how I hoped it would.
I plan to write more in the future, so knowing this format works really helps.
Oh that makes me excited, I can't wait to see more stuff from you! This format was a lot of fun and I've actually been trying to find something that's similarly guiding but gives you leeway and haven't found one yet. You've made something really cool, I hope you keep it up!
