Suncatcher
A downloadable game
The Sun-Catcher Tree that has kept the Village whole and hale for generations is sick.
It is up to the community of animals that call the Village home to band together and tend to the needs of both Tree and Village by the Solstice Festival or they might loose it's protection forever.
Suncatcher is a solo-journaling tabletop game where you help a community of animals that call the Village of the Suncatcher Tree home. Everyday leading up to the Solstice Festival brings with it a Trouble. The Outcome might be determined by the dice, but the story to that ending is entirely in your hands.
Resolving Troubles requires Villagers, as you play follow an easy generator system to design the animal denizens of the village that will work together to either save their home or watch it slowly fall at its seams. Over the course of 7 rounds, one for each day leading up to the Summer Solstice festival, you will:
Generate more Villagers
Attempt to keep the community together
Work to heal the Suncatcher Tree
Create New Tradtions for the Village
Watch the Village Grow as you map out the lead up to the Solstice
