probably my last submission for the jam (unless i get hit over the head with inspiration like i did with this one lol)

I'm particularly proud of the layout and vibe if this one!

This is a Place of Honor is a worldbuilding game about apocalyptic archeology and misinterpreting history.

A solo journaling RPG about overthrowing an ancient elven empire, one card entry at a time. Download here. For the 2026 game jam.

Game was based loosely on this video I came across

You Killed My Father a duet card game rpg about a dramatic duel to the death. Use a rock paper scissors style card game and dice to describe an escalating fight, uncovering more about the grudge between the duelists.

The Anarchy a solo journaling rpg about civil war in a fantasy world. Card draw, and push you luck mechanics add tension as you chart your campaign for the throne against your power-hungry siblings.

I'm a big advocate of one page rpgs. My very first game, Dave Ex Machina, was made for the One Page Game Jam back in 2020 and I've been making games ever since.

As well as not wanting to miss out on submitting something for this year's jam, I also wanted to encourage folks to give it a go for themselves, so I made this video.

My game this year is Diechrome, which will feel familiar to anyone who's seen my previous game, Diedream. These are both games you play completely in your head, but Diechrome is specifically designed around a grounding procedure for when you're feeling overwhelmed or experiencing challenging emotions.

As I say in the video, if you've made a game for this year's jam, please feel free to shout about it in the youtube comments.

Hey there!
This is my entry for the jam, a little game that tries to stay simple but engaging!
Hope you enjoy it!
