Dream Quilt

You recently fell ill, for quite a bit of time. It was at times very painful, at times very boring, and always exhausting. You haven't yet returned to your usual level of energy; maybe you'll get there eventually, and maybe you won't.

For now, you're spending time at home, trying to take it easy. For now, you're spending a lot of time making a quilt.

To play Dream Quilt, you'll need: a four-sided die, a tarot deck, and materials to make your quilt. Your quilt can be anything with separate layers or components: a collage, a playlist, a moodboard, a poem, or even actual tiny quilt. 

The game file is a one-page color PDF.

Dream Quilt was inspired by Last Tea Shop, a lovely cozy one-pager by Spring Villager; Getting to Center, a book by Marlee Grace; the wonderful Sasuraibito Tarot by Stasia Burrington; and my own experiences with recurring headaches.

This game was written for the Reliquary Street Station Weekly Game Jams, Season 1, Episode 7: Butterfly, hosted by stargazersasha. This is an early version of this game submitted to make the jam deadline in time, so I may update it as I playtest it more!

As a final note, this game will not ask you to imagine or describe your sickness in any detail, though you can certainly do so if you like.
