Toilet Skeleton
A downloadable game
Long ago, at least several years, there was a nuclear war and then you died. Your skeletal remains and a few journal entries are discovered by a wanderer in the post-apocalypse who reads the tale of the sad irony of your death. You have become a Toilet Skeleton, a strange feature of the environment whose story is a sidebar in someone else’s adventure.
In this solo journaling game, you will tell the story of your Toilet Skeleton's final days. Was it hubris led you here? Was this all bad luck? What is your favorite dessert? Does war ever change? You will answer these questions and more from the prompts. A game of Toilet Skeleton takes 20-45 minutes.
This game is inspired by the Fallout series, most notably Bethesda’s 3d takes on the property and their odd but compelling addition to the field of environmental storytelling. The name comes from the several times the player encounters a little tableau of one or more posed remains, sometimes in a bathroom, often on a toilet.

Toilet Skeleton Community Copy
It's tough out there for a skeleton. If you would like a copy and are in need, help yourself. Please consider linking to my store on social media if you have a good time with this little game!
Limited Edition Physical Copy
If you'd like a physical copy of Toilet Skeleton and also want to support me a little bit, wow! Are you ever in the right place! As long as you're in the US or Canada I can accommodate.
Why are these 15 bucks fair question it is because I am not making a lot of them, I'm assembling them by hand, and because you'd like a fun little novelty to tuck away in your shelf so your guests can go "oh hey what a funny name, what's this?" Even better, every physical copy sale adds 5 community copies. Together we can spread the joy of toilet skeletons throughout the land.
Currently there are no plans to print more. Once they're gone, they're gone.

what is the physical copy of Toilet Skeleton? Is like a toilet skelly themed deck of cards?
Nothing that elaborate - it's a zine version of the PDF on nice cardstock. It's mostly a vanity/curiosity item. I like the idea of a deck of cards though...
