A bookmarker investigative solo RPG
CONGRATULATIONS!
Due to your UNIQUE QUALITIES and REMARKABLE ABILITY to LOCATE RUPTURES IN THE SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM and/or IDENTIFY CHARACTERISTICS OF STORY DIVERGENCES and/or TAKE DECISIVE ACTION TO MAINTAIN THE BALANCE OF REALITY and/or ████████ ███████ TO █████ ████████ , you've been chosen/granted the unparalleled honor of becoming/operating a LOREKEEPER!
This noble tradition goes back to ████ and is the only thing stopping AGENTS OF CHAOS from CORRUPTING STORIES and therefore BENDING REALITY TOWARDS THEIR OWN ████████ GOALS.
Grab your gear, investigate/enter your favorite books to stop Divergences, and prevent the space-time continuum from crumbling into a hot mess of extraplanar domination, metaphysical torture and existential suffering!
No big deal!
*Preserve the story.
Preserve the world.*

LOREKEEPER is a light, solo, story-building RPG that takes inspiration from cosmic horror/metafiction [such as most of Grant Morrison's bibliography] and bureaucratic (which is the greatest horror of all) fiction [such as CONTROLand SEVERANCE].To play, you will need one Lorekeeper (printed in your favored format); one pencil; one book of your choosing; and three six-sided dice [a notebook/writing implements are recommended but not required]. The gameplay loop takes seconds, and consists of using a custom bookmarker to... Well... Bookmark whatever book you're reading - placing it at the end of each chapter/reading session and rolling dice to uncover/fight its hidden messages/corruption of reality and write your own adventure.
[All work hours should be thoroughly accounted for and forwarded to ████████ HR at ████████@█████.███]
