you live in a world of superheroes and super villains, gods and monsters, and cosmic beings beyond your ken. you, however, are a civilian – only vaguely connected to the world of the fantastic. you live an ordinary life with ordinary people in the ordinary world. except… every so often, you feel the world reset. things that once were, people you once knew – gone as if they never existed. and the world goes on. you live an ordinary life with ordinary people in the ordinary world. and one by one, they all disappear…

crisis is a solo journaling rpg about trying to live a normal life as the continuity of your universe constantly resets. while superheroes escape mostly unscathed, you as a civilian are wrenched from your life to preserve the universal status-quo. a full game ends with you erased from continuity. it is a miserable thing to be normal in the world of the extraordinary.

content warning: this is not a game with a happy ending in mind. you will lose things that are close to you and define you, to the point where you yourself are lost to editorial oversight and continuity error. memory loss and loss of personhood are key themes to this game. please make sure you are in an appropriate state of mind before engaging with this game. if at any point you feel unsafe while playing this game, you do not have to keep playing. prioritize your safety and wellbeing above all else.

touchstones for this game include Grant Morrison's run on Animal Man, Tom King's Mister Miracle, and Eternity Girl by Madeline Visaggio.

A hauntingly beautiful game about slowly losing the pieces of yourself and your community. You don't think about the way little trinkets or common practices among you and your friends hold meaning to you, but once they're gone, what replaces them, if anything at all? A great game for slowly toiling away at what a character holds dear until there is nothing left or something is forced to bend.

printing this out and framing it. thank you for the kind words!!!
