PILLORY

About This Game

Between life and death is a bridge – above it lies holy Promontory. Below it, “The Cavity”.
The guardians of Promontory were tasked to maintain it, but have since become complacent.

You are a lost creature, trapped at the bottom of it.

On your journey, you will meet strange friends, and even stranger foes. Some are like you – lost, scrambling to understand why they exist.
Some are complacent, careless in their afterlife.
Some might want to hurt you.

In battle, thoughts and plans come to you; you need only approve or deny.
Doing so will affect your mood. Your mood affects what plans come to mind, and also how enemies treat you.
Arm yourself and your companions with well-wishes and strong concepts, and try to keep a steady mind in the face of indecision.

If your mood becomes too extreme, either in the positive or negative, you will be subject to a “Notion”.
These are unskippable moves that happen without your input, and range from very risky to very bad.
