HEART GAME WRITEUP

[imaginemeandyuu]

I've finally completed the heart game writeup! Instead of trying to embed all the pictures and get the italics and stuff in and taking MORE time, I'm just linking directly to the Gdoc I have it in:


ALMA HEARTGAME WRITEUP (note: italics are previously-quoted text, non-italics are me chatting about the game)

(Game was here and endgame threads were here.)


I know there's a lot of writing in that doc already BUT I'm always happy to keep rambling! If I missed talking about something you're curious about, or if you want to know the symbolism of something, or how the 'reflections' of areas worked in specific cases, or ...literally anything at all you're curious about, please go and ask in the comments to this post. Or just chat with me about it. Or share your thoughts or feedback or anything :) I love heartgames and I'm always happy to expand more AND receive any info that helps make it a learning experience for the next one.

Thank you all! I loved running it, and I hope you had fun playing it (and/or reading the writeup!)

Thank you for writing this up! It gives me a few more ideas for how to approach the heart game I'd like to run in a few months and how to handle symbolism in it.

Kind of worth noting, Bucky wasn't actually trying any tricks in the "Murderer" room--he was guessing that both of the figures represented different parts of Alma that were in conflict and genuinely wanted them to try to accept each other. (Which probably would not have been the case if he'd had more memories, but he's still in slightly cynical but mostly hopeful sidekick mode at the moment.) Trevor just, uh, disagreed with his methods.

I'd like to thread with Alma outside the heart game at some point! I'll keep an eye out for a chance.

Glad to! I looooove talking Heart Games, I really dig all the potential for game mechanics in it, so if you ever want to bounce ideas around with me it's always my joy :>

Lmao yeah Bucky rolled with it so Alma took the same thing away either way. O Bucky :(

Yes let's thread! Do you have a plurk btw? I'll link next time I put Alma out with a top level o//
