What it is about
I can feel the prickle - like static in the air. More and more often I can feel something is shifting. I don’t know if it’s the mountain, the town, or Carne. I will not leave this place, though. So instead, I’ll write a record with the hope that someone out there finds us - in ten years or a hundred or a thousand. This is scribbled inside a worn out journal that you find one day. You’re a ghost and cryptid hunter with a podcast, and during a little vacation you’ve recently come across what appears to be a ghost town at the base of the mountain. The town itself doesn’t look too strange, but your profession has taught you how to look closer, and this place is… well, a little off. For starters, it’s not on any map that you can find, nor is it marked on your phone, and at first glance around a gift shop at an abandoned gas station, you can’t find a single photograph with a person on it. There’s not one living soul around and even the birds seem to avoid it. It’s eerie and quiet and so very very exciting! This is a solo journaling game created by StarlitLibrary ( Nathaniel Oldrin and Courtney Mejía-Murphy ) for Cosmic Horrors Jam II !
