For my son, an island

“For My Son, an Island” is a small game designed to be played with your newborn. You are a father god, shaping an island that befits your son’s future reign. Every mountain, sea, and forest is crafted through his guidance, delivered in the simplest form: his movements or sounds.

How it works:

• You hold your newborn and softly ask simple yes/no questions about how to shape the island.
• Count the seconds until he moves or makes a sound to decide the answer:
  • Odd seconds: Yes — This feature suits him.
  • Even seconds: No — This feature doesn’t fit.

Designed for the moments in between, inspired by the small hours of the night. Made for the Minimalist TTRPG Jam 3.
