solo_knightUnreview: Fragment
What is it?
A solo scrapbooking horror game. Yes, you’re actually encouraged to go in with coloured pens, magazine cutouts, and glue.
Is it playable out of the box?
There are elaborate rules about how to place elements on the page and what to do with them. I’ve only skimmed them, but I found them somewhat confusing.
Amendments:
Bring your own therapist.
Tools
Physical Scrapbooking materials. Yes, all of them.
Price:
$2
Verdict
🥾 I don’t think this is a healthy thing for me. At all.
🎪 Horror, scrapbooking, and intense self-reflection. Not what I am looking for in a game.
⚰️ This probably will get dark.
For the right person, this might be cathargic. For me, a person who would have to buy supplies and learn about a new hobby only to turn it into something dark this holds zero attraction.
I also feel that this type of work – descending fast into the deepest parts of your soul, facing guilt and shame – is best undertaken with the help of a friendly guide, aka therapist, or slowly, uncovering not only one layer after the next, but augmenting those discoveries with healing and ways to manage challenges.
Dare I say… reading Tarot reflectively? Not the only possible path, but one that lets you probe, illuminate your perceptions from multiple angles, and which shows you paths and healthy emotional tools.
This ‘game’ encourages you to delve deep and fast and while you don’t exactly get points for uncovering more trauma, you’re subtly encouraged to dig and not be a boring well-adjusted person whose greatest shame of the last ten years is not contacting your friends more often.
For that, this gets a boot. I know this wouldn’t be healthy for me.
