A downloadable game

An alternative to the unintentionally vague BUT genuine game design inspired by both the rampant indie/narrative scene of "[EVOCATIVE NOUN]: A Game About [Difficult Subject]", and the OSR adjacent "[Monster/Dungeon/Spaceship/Tavern] Generator Toolkit".

A 'rule-light' """game""" codified on the lenses of "we gave you some improv prompts and then didn't write any game rules beyond telling you to roll dice." In this case, just play Run buttom on MatLab. 

Who knows... Maybe a ENNIE Award Nominee or a DICEBRAKER Game You Should Play Before Die? - Reviewer 2.

Besides, even though I've had the effrontery  to put a 10$ price (as it seems -to me- to be common practice in this platform), I give no credit to this rampant trend of setting a price for non-designed games or games designed to not to be played at all. If I buy a game to play, I don't want to also have to design, write, and playtest [missing mechanics for] the game. That's literally what I'm paying the game makers to do.

Thus, here you are the code (see below). Of course, this was realised wih the aid of chat GPT. I'm not going to deal a bigger ammount of my time with the unsavory and pretentious claims that games like this has an innovative and laborious work behind:

Take care, dear comrades!
