What it is about
Agents Odd and Even are lost, hurt, and being pursued by shadows they don't fully understand. Can they find a way out? Or are they doomed? It's up to you. Strange Streets is a singleplayer one-page print-and-play game. It's a tense, thematic, kinda-narrative-y experience about sneaking around and staying safe and then making a mad desperate dash for the goal. Instructions You'll need two six-sided dice of one color and four of another (same color will work if you gotta). The game doesn't require any erasing, so any pencil/pen/marker will do, or you can open the png in a digital viewer and write on it that way. All the game rules are included on the page. If you're short on components, the game is playable with just 2 dice; the toolkit dice can be replaced by just noting down which tools you have available and crossing them off as you use them. It will miss out on some good tactility but the game mechanics will handle it OK. If you've enjoyed Strange Streets, please leave a rating and a comment!
