Well Wishers
A downloadable game
About this game
The truth is this: They will emerge from their Well and judge humanity for what we've done.
It is the last month of the year, and our last chance to make amends, to heal. We have to come together and show Truth that we are more than our Shame.
We have 31 days.
Well Wishers is a narrative-focused, roleplay-heavy supernatural game. The game is centered around Truth (played by the Game Master (GM)) planning to bring about the apocalypse, and humanity's attempts to avert it.
Well Wishers directly deals with apocalyptic events, supernatural horror via transformation, community instability, theft, community-wide illness, intergenerational and personal trauma.

Well Wishers is a beautiful, moving game promoting strong collaboration and, sometimes, sacrifice for the possibility of a better future. Best suited to smaller tables (I'd sugget 3-5), the layout is simple and easy to follow, and the gameplay loop promotes conversation and consideration around the table. There’s an aching feeling with it and each prompt poses new, difficult questions for the Pillars to decide on together. Each action has consequences that impact not only the Pillars, but their community at large. It is only a matter of time until Truth emerges from their well to pass judgement on humanity. What will you choose when humanity’s future is in your hands?
