A downloadable game of patience

There is an illness, and there is a town. Across the water is an island. On the island is a furnace. The furnace has a minder. The minder keeps a Machine. And the Machine holds all the power.

A card-and-die game of patience about processing scraps of leftover soul for those that have none. Part ritual, part mechanical meditation, THE SOUL MACHINE was made for #ScreamMachine: a jam about horrific machines.

To play, you need a six-sided die and a deck of playing- or tarot cards. Printing out the note sheet is not necessary, but probably helpful.

Because of the jam's short nature, this game is bare-bones and free! I'm hoping to add the story mode (event table! a story booklet! proper endings!) in a future update. If you enjoy THE SOUL MACHINE, please leave a comment or a rate/review when you have the time.
