SWORNHEART

A two player narrative driven game of divine vows, messy compassion and small mysteries. 

In SWORNHEART, one of you is The Sworn, a Paladin bound to a god’s vow. You are everything a Paladin is expected to be: stoic, stern, self-sacrificing, and (at least on paper) beyond reproach. You cling to the rules. 

The other is The Heart; a friend, foil, or would-be lover who is very, very good at breaking those rules. 

Unfortunately, two things are complicating your current situation. First, you are not the most stable of Paladins. At any moment, you risk being dragged into The Undertow — a bout of divine shitfuckery that leaves you spiralling into an uncontrollable frenzy. Second, and perhaps worse, despite your best efforts, you are falling for The Heart… and you’ll do anything to protect them. 

One of you clings to the rules. The other breaks them for fun. Also: there are chickens missing, your god is meddling, and love might kill you faster than the Undertow. 

Inspired by T. Kingfisher's Saint of Steel Series, Hints & Hijinks by Pandion Games, Eyes on the Prize by Ira Prince and Fog of Love by Jacob Jaskov.
