hey, sorry. can you hear me?
hey... sorry, may I be a part of you?
hey, sorry. can you hear me? is a lyric game where you've become a confused ghost that needs a new host. However, this ghost doesn't want to bother the living, and wants to instead give an object a new life: an object around their current space, to be exact.
You will make yourself questions about you and your relationship with the object. Has that object meant anything to you before becoming a ghost? How will you greet it? How will it grant you permission to possess it and live together, if the case allows for it? If it doesn't, what object will be the ideal body for your ghostly self?
This game is solo, GM-less and just needs your imagination to be played. However, you may write your playthrough as sort of a diary log if you prefer.

This gives me such a new perspective on the things in my life. Which, as a minimalist, I love so much. We're helping Angel's bro go through his room and I'm explaining how every object he keeps should make him HAPPY. How Angel's parents hoard so much and are awful examples of this. How our objects should serve us.
But this helps me explain the other side of that so much, and focus on it: that we should take care of what we have, too! Let it have lots of space to exist, let it feel proud to be displayed, let it feel like it's living up to its full potential by being used, let it feel delighted to be a part of my life, etc.

this is cute! I'm a little confused by what "lyric game" is, though, could someone guide me on that?
The general definition of a "lyric game" is a game that you experience by reading it as much as you do by actually playing it. That just reading it is an experience of its own. And I would definitely say that applies here: I haven't actually "played" it yet, but I took a lot away from the experience with a mere read-through.
thank you! And yeah, Beth/Angel explained the concept of a lyric game very well! Lyric gameplay is basically just experiencing a board game through reading ^^
ahh, got it, thank you both!
