Drowning: A Single Player Game
A downloadable game
Your boat has sunk! You are far from shore, but you have no other hope of survival. Scared and bleeding, you begin to swim through the frigid waters.
---
In this rather hopeless mini RPG, you must swim to shore in an ocean that is out to get you. Most games will end in failure, but that's perfectly okay! The Ocean will not judge you, it will only kill you!
A single game should take less than 10 minutes, and will make you dread every card you draw or die you roll. You will need a deck of 54 cards (52 + 2 Jokers) and a six sided dice to play.

Brutal, great concept. Great work.
I am determined to beat this thing.
Does exactly what it feels like it intends to do. Very interesting experience.
Remember to breathe while playing, or you won’t hold long. ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK0rT0LdmRo
I know that this is the ocean and not the cold, but it reminds me of the short story "To Build a Fire" by Jack London. It's the idea that you've already lost once you're in the situation. I love how desperate this game seems and I can't wait to try it!
This is an evocative, frightening, difficult game and I can't wait to play it over and over. Well done.
got intrigued by the use of a full deck and die. will definitely try it out :)
