A MENDING

A Mending is a solo story-building and keepsake game about two friends who have been parted for some time, using sewing, embroidery, and map-marking mechanics. In this game, you sew a path on a cloth map, and build a story using prompt cards as you progress through a reflective and gentle journey of interesting characters, thoughtful questions about your friendship, and a few strange occurrences.

You will play the game by planning your route, marking the map, and building a story by answering prompt cards. The prompt cards will ask you to consider your relationship with your friend, mark your map with beads or written notes, introduce you to delightful characters (including at least one dog), and will sometimes affect the path you have chosen. The game is designed to be played solo, but the game booklet will also include suggestions on how to play this as a 2 person game (using a single game kit), or communally in a larger group. A Mending can be also played as a system-agnostic storytelling module for other roleplaying games.
