The Shadowed Veil
A downloadable game
A group of recently departed have found refuge in the decaying reflection of a house in the Shadowlands. Here they while away the growing storm that rages outside, hoping to resolve their unfinished business so they can walk into the light. There are secrets to be revealed, and knowledge best left hidden.
Working together they may come to learn the truth, or could find themselves consumed by the oblivion that threatens to consume them all.
The Shadowed Veil is a diceless storytelling game for flour or more players (though it probably works with less than six). In addition to players (and a copy of the rules for each of them, it requires a few index cards, pens, a highlighter, a candle (and some means for lighting it).

Question: does anything in particular happen if the candle blows out or burns down?
Wow...thanks for pointing that out. It's one of those bits where I had it clear in my head what would happen, and thought that I'd included it in the rules. Obviously I hadn't. Maybe it got cut in editing, but it's an important part of the game. Basically, once the candle goes out, whether by burning down or blowing it , the stories come to a conclusion. I'll re-read how the rules currently stand, and look through the working document, but generally had the idea that once the light leaves the candle, this was another trigger for the end game when the light enters play and everyone gets a final chance to resolve their stories.
