both of my CAIN sessions fell through this week and I dug through bundle pages for literally an hour trying to find this again after having not had an opportunity first time I saw it. it's definitely an experience. the framing is great and the handbook is fantastic. I ended my first night with HNW having many, many questions, and thinking about the other players at my table. i wanna know what's in the password-protected PDF. I wanna know more about the intrigant(s) at my table. i wanna know more about myself.
feels like this is going to be a little pre-session ritual for me every week going forward which is a good thing, I think. I'm glad I tried this.
also, small question about Phase 🐸: does it still count if, as the GM, you declared the session a bust because half the table couldn't make it?
(Small update from five hours and many brainworms later: found the password through method #3 and then found everything that comes after. thank you)
this is probably the most unique way Ive seen a solo RPG framed before!
I'm still beginning to make through it, but I love the faux corporate training videos and backing audio and aesthetics of the handbook, the little bits of flavor dialogue (& the whole playlist!! and whatever's going on with the code phrases(?) ) Definitely probably spending more than an hour hunting everything down, hehe :P
for anyone else who gets lost for a bit, you need the handbook to start! just opening the app doesnt give direct instructions.
also as a small added note, heads up that it looks for "DECOMISSION" (spelled with one m not two) in the ANXS codebreaker
💜💜💜 Thanks so much, both for the kind words and for catching my typos! Whoops!
I’ve updated the app so the first time you boot it up, it gives you a little reminder to start with the ASH. :) I also fixed it so both “DECOMMISSION” and “DECOMISSION” will work as valid commands (lol). Really appreciate your notes!!

I love this concept, but I wanna wait to play until i actually have a session bite the dust.
Don't tell my players, but I'm kinda excited now XD
Hahaha that’s the only way to play!!
I’ll be honest, 99% of my goal here was to give folks a reason to be a little excited even when session fall through. 😅
Good luck, Agent! ✨
mission accomplished Agent Snail!!! over and out
