What it is about
A cosy solo journaling RPG about little adventures and the companions who share them. Every adventure is better with a little companion. Welcome to Elderbell Hollow, a whimsical little village filled with curious characters, cosy corners and plenty of neighbours who could use a helping hand. Or paw. Or wing! In Little Companion, you'll create your own character and their beloved companion, then set off on gentle adventures together. Roll the dice to discover where your day takes you, meet the residents of Elderbell Hollow and see how your companion's personality, moods and unexpected decisions shape your story. There are no battles to win, no complicated character sheets and no pressure to tell the perfect story. Just you, your companion and a world of little possibilities. 🐾 Enjoy your first adventure?
