What is this, my darling?
Where the Frost-Narcissus Blooms is a solo ttrpg about being deeply in love with someone who is struggling with a fixation. Although Where the Frost-Narcissus Blooms is inspired by the unrequited love of Echo for Narcissus, it is neither necessarily romantic nor necessarily tragic. It nevertheless deals with themes of care and exhaustion, of addiction, narcissism, and other fixations, and with uneven dynamics of power and care in intimate relationships.
Where the Frost-Narcissus Blooms was written for the Clawhammer Games's Discord’s 24h Jam on March 4, 2022. This download contains the rules to play — in order to do so, you will also need two six-sided dice and a deck of playing cards.
(Now dance with me, my darling / in the hoary gardens of our love)

Where the Frost-Narcissus Blooms was written in 24 hours and is extremely a prototype. Call it an ashcan if you want. I don't have any current plans to update it, so I thought I would put it up here as-is.
