To Graves Unknown
A downloadable game
Something strange and ominous has happened. You are the lone investigator trying to find some answers.
This is a journal-writing game for a single player. As you play, you will write entries in the voice of a fictional investigator. Over the course of play, you will learn the truth about three interconnected mysteries that you improvisationally create as you play. The game recreates the narrative format of a supernatural mystery podcast like Limetown, TANIS, or Video Palace.
To play this game, you will need a notebook or other method of recording your journaling. You will also need three visually distinct sets of dice, with d4, d6, d8, d10, d12 and d20.
This game is also available in Spanish, courtesy of El Refugio de Ryhope as Hilos de Misterio.
To Graves Unknown originally appeared in the December issue of In*Die RPG Zine.

Got this game in a bundle ages ago, finally took it out for a spin today! It had a perfect blend of simplicity and depth to give me a great time with minimal equipment. (I skipped your three colors of dice plan and just used one fidget spinner die that I rolled 3 times, as I was playing walking around a park!) The questions are well engineered out to bring your session in for a landing in a satisfying, but not fixed, way.
Playing the game while walking around the park sounds like a great way to spend the day. I'm glad you had a good time playing!
I wrote a short review of the game in french. I really liked how the mechanics answers to the themes, and those intertwined mysteries. It's definitely on my to-try list.
