Return to innocence: an index card game

Return to innocence: an index card game

In this game, you are playing a character who has done something that you/they consider to be wrong. Don’t worry, we’ve all been there: it’s part of being human. Whatever you did – steal something, be a bully, and so on – has made you the evil doer in this story and put you in a place far from home.

Returning from wrongdoing requires a journey, a quest of sorts. And that’s what this game is about: your trip home to innocence. Or, at least, a wiser space than you were in before.

 

You’ll be pleased to note that you won’t be alone on your quest. You’ll have the many voices inside your head (your helpful friends, i.e., all the players) collaborating to get you home in as interesting a way as possible. You’ll also have your Spirit Being to guide your way.

 

The end result is a redemption story with twists and turns along the way.
