Inside the game

How your choices shape this result

The answer weights below are the rules used by this game. Add the points from your chosen options; the outcome with the highest total wins. These points express our game design, not a measurement of you or anyone else.

When outcomes tie, a repeatable calculation chooses between them. Names can affect that tie-break; they do not reveal private information. Percentages, initials, ages and dates in outcome titles are authored parts of the story, not calculated probabilities or forecasts.

Explore the possible outcomes

You can read every outcome before playing. Compare a theme with a real example from your life, and keep any part that gives you a useful question.

The Question Fox

Your fictional companion follows curiosity with a notebook's worth of questions. Its charm is helping the story look again at something that seemed settled.

A prompt to try: Invent a question only your creature would ask.

The Pebble Griffin

Your companion builds careful little collections from ordinary finds. Its glow makes a chosen object noticeable without turning it into a priceless treasure.

A prompt to try: Describe a tiny collection and why each piece matters.

The Rhythm Sprite

Your companion answers patterns with movement and light. The story becomes a conversation in which listening matters as much as making the next sound.

A prompt to try: Create a simple call-and-response rhythm for the creature.

The Lantern Moth-Cat

Your companion brings a modest pool of light to a quiet scene. It cannot solve the story's problems, but it can make a thoughtful moment easier to see.

A prompt to try: Write a gentle scene lit by a tiny magical companion.

Behind the result
