The Prose Life of Sundered Lovers

Reality itself rips apart along wood-grain seams, all laws of physicality abandoned for an endless chaos. Your life, and the lives of all others throughout an infinite span of dimensions, have been forever changed.

You are a Germanic peasant, or a Holy Roman scholar, or a man-at-arms under the last Achaemenid King of Kings. The year is 983, or 1406, or 380 B.C.E. You are in the ruins of Constantinople, or the fields of ancient Briton, or a small ditch thirty kilometers south of the Rhine. Somehow, all of these are true at once.

The Prose Life of Sundered Lovers is a two-player journaling game about bonds that transcend space and time while everything falls apart in a dystopic, medieval realm of uncertainties. Compatible with romantic partners, best friends, or complete strangers, The Prose Life of Sundered Lovers tests your ability to know another person intrinsically, and assume their choices - even when you can’t see them.

Use procedural prompts & skill checks to build a wild, sprawling journey told through drawings, writing, or interpretive dance instructions - then retell that story with your partner to compare your experience to theirs. Discover how similar - or different - your partner’s choices are to yours when similar skills are tested. 

The Prose Life of Sundered Lovers was made for the Medieval but Queer game jam.
