Build Your Conversation Deck

The Last Days of Friendship Valley's unique card-based tactical Friendship Encounter system lets you decide EVERYTHING about your Patcher, from your conversational quirks, to your emotional strengths and weaknesses, to the ways you break when the strain becomes too much. Flexible or firm, steadfast or melancholy, patient or explosive; you decide who you become and how you interact with the world. When every character has full emotional interiority, a single wrong word can be the difference between success and disaster. Do you have what it takes to tackle the chaos of interpersonal communication?

Uncover an Ancient Mystery

Not all is sunshine and rainbows in Friendship Valley; a mystery that stretches back to the dawn of time threatens to swallow the town. Uncover soul-powered machines, negotiate with fairies, and delve into deep emotional wounds in order to reach the truth. What does the floating obelisk in the middle of town really do? Why is there an abandoned building covered in magic sigils outside of town? Who is trying to destroy Friendship Valley, and why?

Try to Save the World

You won't be able to do it alone. Fortunately, you have help. The friends you make along the way will be there to support you in big and small ways alike, from a fresh meal to a trek through the wilderness. Each Friendship Encounter you successfully resolve brings you closer to the goats involved: Friendship Valley is a mistrustful place, but with time and effort, it can become a home.

i can not fucking wait for goatgame

a deck builder you say....

That's right! As you complete quests and interact with other goats, you'll pick up their conversational quirks in the form of cards you can put in your negotiation deck.

autism as a game mechanic...

I created a Netrunner explainer in Decker. There is a lot more I could do with it, but I am not sure if I will. Right now its mostly just text from the official rules. I am learning how to use Decker as I go so I think you can figure out which cards I did first and what I did later.

I really like how the art from the official rules looks when I imported it into Decker.

It's possible that one needs to already understand netrunner to get anything out of this explainer, so it probably only works in conjunction with an verbal explanation by someone who knows how to play.

The aesthete's life, the bohemian life of devotion to art and pleasure, has never looked more dismal and cheerless than in David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch and, well, that's a mood.

There was a time in my "real life"—it seems almost a million years ago now, even though it was only several years—when I thought I'd learned how to enjoy myself in Seattle, and I wallowed in sex and drugs and felt like I'd "made it" somehow.

Now what is there to do? Writing reports, I guess.

not without some cuteness. I rather wonder, however, why he's hanging out at a police station ~Chara

I think it's funny btw that I know Peter Weller chiefly from two movies: Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop, where his character's free will is taken away; and David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch, where his character's free will is taken away (or maybe he learns he never had any) ~Chara
