My Time to Turn v1.0

(In development, not playtested. I would love to hear any feedback you have! Future updates will have streamlined formatting, art by me, and a printable character sheet. v1.0 created for Penflower Ink's Unlocked with Passkey jam) 

My Time to Turn is a solo journaling or cooperative TTRPG designed to allow players to reflect on grief and mortality in a setting slightly removed from the real world. Players take on the identities of characters who have been bitten in a zombie apocalypse, knowing that it takes 4 weeks to completely turn undead. My Time to Turn includes roll tables that help players create a world to navigate in their final weeks. All mechanics are technically optional, just there to help encourage reflection or inspire action. 

In My Time to Turn's world, the undead are not necessarily a threat to those who have been bitten. The biggest threats are designed to be humans who fear the undead and the character's own personal struggles when facing the end of their life as they know it. 

Playing My Time to Turn as a solo journaling game would include reflecting in writing on the character's day to day life as they navigate the world and their own feelings about turning. The downloads include a simple calendar to keep track of days passing and a map outline. Games may not end in a satisfying conclusion, the characters might not complete what they set out to do, and that's life.
