Investigating the Green Things

The Green Things are not animals or plants, but a much more fundamental form of life. Those who see them can easily find them scurrying among the leaves of the trees and letting themselves be carried away by the sunrays, but this is a skill that only a few have.

Because of their strange and invisible nature, they rarely interact with humans. But whenever they do, between frightened whispers, they are called Spirits.

***

In Investigating the Green Things you play as an investigator of the Green Things, always wandering through the rural wilderness in search of knowledge. During your travels you often come across villages that host a Spirit and that's where the story begins.

To play you only need a tarot deck and a way to record your thoughts and discoveries. As you draw cards, you will discover the village and the effects of the Spirit. Eventually, you may find a treatment that allows for the coexistence of the Spirit and the villagers, if needed.

Investigating the Green Things is based on and uses the mechanics of Anamnesis, by Sam Leigh. It was created as part of the Anamnesis Game Jam.
