JANUARY A postcard writing game for two people, set in a kaiju-filled alternate history, about distant but persistent friendships.

JANUARY is a postcard-writing game about two artists living ordinary lives over five decades, in a world besieged by giant kaiju.

By Indiecade-winning, Ennie-nommed game designer and artist Shing Yin Khor, in collaboration w/ illustrator Jared Andrew Schorr.

While I vibrate off the walls about this campaign going live I wanna talk about the art @seaexcursion.itch.io has done for All's Fair

Caro is THE perfect artist for this game, read it and put so much thoughtfulness into how to visually represent it, and they blew my expectations away

You know what tells you a lot about a society? Our LAWS.

What do we punish? Do we enforce them fairly? Do we think our laws are just?

On the left, a woodcut style illustration of a trainyard at night. The quartet flees, carrying their instrument cases onto a freight car on a towering bridge. In the distance, the Black Barn burns. "They fled with their instruments and little else."

On the right: ACT I. THE BAND. In character order, the four doomed heroes of this fated endeavor:

โ€ข Cockerel: The one who met the Devil eye to eye. Flashy, charming, arrogant.
โ€ข Cat: The one who saw the writing on the wall. Vigilant, patient, shrewd.
โ€ข Hound: The one who put the target on our back. Impulsive, eager, passionate.
โ€ข Mule: The one who booked our passage out of town. Dry, stubborn, blunt.
