Exul Mater (Game Jam)

Latest version exhibited at ELO 2020, (un)continuity.

[Build your own prompts. Weigh your conflicting loyalties.]

It's a statless character generation, based on aspects from Cultist Simulator. Their interaction is eloquent - but narrative roguelikes are like brick walls to me. On the other hand, The Ice-Bound Concordance deserves more clones. (Maybe not in the span of one week.)

Engine in d3.js / HTML5 / ObservableHQ. There's a secret level, if you want to see about half of these prompts (as of release) worked out.
Late edit: Secret level less obtuse.
