The last thing you remember, you were dying.
Now, breath fills your lungs once more and your eyes open, slowly shifting side to side as you attempt to regain your bearings.
You are alive.
But you are…changed.
Your human form is gone, and in its place is one that is different, foreign, animal...

***************

In Lingering, you play as a person who has died, only to find yourself alive again in an animal form, unable to move on to your eternal rest until you settle business left unsettled from your life. 

Throughout the course of a game, you will make several attempts to communicate with a chosen human, hoping to convey a message to them so they can assist you and help you move on once and for all. 

It is played over the course of eight prompt based rounds, using a deck of standard playing cards. Though designed as a solo game, the game text includes a variation to be played as a two player game.

Beautifully simple and deep as anything! I really like the playing card determiner - much nicer than rolling a dice. The prompts are enough to guide you but not constrain. I am looking forward to exploring more with this. Thank you :-)
