What it is about
Take a load off in the soothing, scalding pools of hot pitch in Antar-3 City. Explore the noxious and tantalizing spice markets of Illmatha. And enjoy the finest chitin in the entire Houfar Demesne. You are a vacationer aboard the Valdez Moon: an interstellar cruise ship that visits many alien worlds, and your ticket has entitled you to a shore experience in one of the alien cities! Relax, let loose, have fun, and enjoy being immersed in a space so different than your own. And be sure to keep an eye out for souvenirs to bring home to your loved ones. Going Ashore is a laid-back journaling role-playing game for one player that is all about enjoying a vacation on an alien world you create. Through writing prompts, you will guide your character through the streets of an alien city, seeking out new experiences, and encountering new situations. And while your character is having fun, they might even find a keepsake they wish to bring home. Going Ashore is 100% human made.
