It's been a long time of sitting in your tower alone, watching reflections of the outside world. But today, something is going to change.

SHALOTT: HALF-SICK OF SHADOWS requires no pen, paper, or dice. It requires you, and a floor to lie down on. You will create your own Lady of Shalott story: a curse, and a glimpse, and a journey, and an ending. The game lasts for as long as you want to lie on the floor.

This is a story of your own telling, but players should be aware it is a melancholy one: as with the original poem, this game deals with themes of isolation, loss, grief, and possibly death. Please play responsibly and stop if you feel overwhelmed: the game will be here if you'd ever like to come back.

'I am half sick of shadows,' said

       The Lady of Shalott.
