a lonely compsognathus: a short solo poetry journaling RPG
A downloadable game
CW: grief, loss, abandonment, depression, anxiety.
In this short solo journaling RPG, you are a lonely Compsognathus missing their friends. You will need one deck of standard playing cards (online versions also count) & something to write your poem with. To play, you will draw a random card from the deck, see which poetry line writing prompt you get based on the suit, color, or number on your card, & then expand on the line as little or as much as you’d like in order to write your dinosaur poem!
No AI was used in the making of this game!

Just wanted to let you know I chose this as the Solo Journaling Game of the Month in my discord server for April 2025. Here's my resulting poem.
Thank you for the game!
