There is a shop somewhere near you that sells dreams.
You may know it. It is tucked in a narrow street, or at the end of a cul de sac, or in a small alleyway. It might wander from place to place, or it might simply conceal itself from those who don’t need its services. It is found only by customers who are lost, or desperate, or so hollow that they have nothing left to lose, and those who find it are changed forever.
It isn’t only the customers of the shop who need it. Those who work here are a collection of misfits, outcasts, and lost souls. Some of them are here temporarily, looking to heal. Some are here forever, in the only place where they can feel safe. Some are even trapped – they want to move on in their lives, but they’re afraid of leaving, or still owe something they have to pay back. In short, they are a family, and as they work and encounter strangers who wander through the doors of the shop, they will find their way to a resolution, too…
Our Old Curiousity Shop is a one-shot RPG that explores social interactions, complicated problems, and the lives of a group of misfits and outcasts building a new home for themselves. Find it in pieces at my Patreon, or purchase it from my Itch store for only $4!
