What it is about
The Eternal Garden is a solo micro-rpg about possibility, loss and transformation. You are one of many who tend the garden at the end of Time. Each plants their seeds, watches some bloom and some wither, then becomes soil to nourish what follows. This is contemplative play about tending something larger than yourself. When you plant your last seed, you return to soil. The garden endures. A game takes about 10 minutes and sits somewhere between journal prompt and ritual. Created for the 48-Word RPG Jam 2026 . Complete game text follows. --- The Eternal Garden You tend the infinite garden at the end of Time, where flowers contain Universes. You have six seeds. Name them. Each cycle, roll 1d6: 1–3: Blight . Lose a seed. Describe what's lost. 4–6: Growth . Plant a seed. Describe what blooms. With your last seed, become soil. --- Credits Plant from Heritage Type Plant Ornaments collection (CC0 1.0) Astronomical elements from Heritage Type Sun, Moon & Stars collection (CC0 1.0)
