SHIT SUCKS, or How To Keep Going
A downloadable game
Sometimes, the world ends, and yet, somehow, you must go on.

This was written for the LUDUM PRAXI, a 72-hr TTRPG Jam held in August 2025 on the theme of "the end is never the end".

I've poured everything I know on how to claw yourself out of a pit of despair in those fifteen pages.
They've got compassion, numbered lists, and gratuitous swear words.
I hope you will find them at least entertaining, and at best helpful.

If you've enjoyed the game, easy and free ways to encourage me are leaving comments and ratings (which also helps with visibility).
Another way is supporting me financially on my LiberaPay.
Thank you!

I really liked this because so much advice out there tells us that we have the ability to just seize control and make ourselves emotionally react or physically act in a particular way, when in my experience this just leads to stress and guilt. I cannot remember the last time I have seen someone strike such a good balance between acknowledging that we only have so much agency over ourselves, while still pointing out that there is some agency available for us to claim in a positive way.
SHIT SUCKS... but this was wonderful.
This was incredibly well written and definitely captured what a lot of us are feeling at the minute. Times are tough and the pressure to just keep going regardless is bearing down on everyone. This game is a great motivational piece to help us regroup and get back up.
Funny, informative and thoughtful. Amazing job
Well done!
Thank you kindly! I appreciate that you rated in the jam, commented in the jam, AND commented here AND rated the game overall!
