A downloadable micrometagame

Download NowName your own price

This is a micrometagame (a small game meant to be played while playing another game) made for the Dice Exploder Game Jam and the mechanic I decided to "explode" is the use of a Jenga(TM) tower to create a sense of dread (that your session will end.)

Like in "Dread," the tower is meant to create a feeling of suspense and ramp up the emotional stakes. Being too good at playing games can have consequences, after all. Make sure to pay close attention to who initiates the most events and who initiates the least. This will make you feel awful, either way.

I'm unsure if you should actually play this game.

Also, the whole thing is one page and it's the picture, so ya know, you don't have to download it, but if you do, please consider rating/reviewing it if you like it!

Merrilee's agenda is to quietly turn all games into the larpiest versions of themselves.

QUIET? YOU THINK IM BEING QUIET ABOUT IT???

You're so right. Shhhhhh!

Please accept this first hack of your game to be a sign of my appreciation for your unique take on the dread mechanic.
