The Sky City Charade

Elysia. Midtown. Someone rich was murdered. And you, a private detective from the lowest reaches of Sky City, have been tasked to find out why.

This is a solo journalling game based on the Hints and Hijinx system from Pandion Games (found here). Create a character and navigate through a cyberpunk city stretching into the heavens, dealing with whatever it throws at you.

Using polyhedral dice, a deck of cards, something to journal with, and your own imagination, see if you can bring this case to a satisfying close by actually solving it and finding out who is behind this mysterious crime, and why you were asked to solve it.

There are two versions of the game itself. One is a black and white printer-friendly version. The other is a more colourful and atmospheric version that is more resource-intensive to print and is a larger file size. The actual game content is the same in both versions.

This game was made for the Hints and Hijinx Jam.
