MIRU I: An Analog Adventure Game

A robot killed your brother. You have decided to take it up with management, which in this case is a god.

About a hundred years from now, in a solarpunk future gone wrong, a robot has killed your brother, and you are heading into the uncharted wilderness to kill the god responsible. MIRU I is the first of Hinokodo's analog games for Mimic Publishing, a landscape A5 zine that funded on Kickstarter in 2022, and the companion to MIRU II: An Analog Horror Game. Each copy has a QR code for the free digital edition.

It is a hexcrawl: you roll dice for each day's events and draw your own randomly generated map as you go, so every game ends with a hand-drawn record of the journey. Along the way you manage your survival resources, build up your character and solve cryptic puzzles. It is solo-first but can be played with others, and the designer suggests a single sitting of two to four hours.

Please note: you will need dice and a pencil. Contains violence and adult themes.

Perfect for: Anyone who still has the hand-drawn map from a childhood adventure and thinks it was the best part.
