Fragmented:
A downloadable game
Fragmented: is a two player RPG, designed to be played both over a series of days, and over Google Docs. The two of you will design an AI, and take turns telling the oft conflicting story of how your current situation came to be. You share a mind, but your memories don't match, and something has happened to you, but you can't remember what. You'll undergo defragmentation, and try to pull yourself back together, and hope beyond hopes that you're alright.
At its heart Fragmented: is a story about coming to terms with trauma. Your memory is broken, and everything hurts, but you have to probe those places deep inside of you because it’s important to know what happened. The only way forward is backward, but are you brave enough to go there?
In the file list you'll see Fragmented as well as Fragmented Reloaded, and while there are some minor differences to note, they are super minor. Fragmented Reloaded is my work to massively update the game and make it look cooler and more distressed overall, it contains a few minor text updates in the first half, but the second half of the manual is untouched outside of some updated to the page backgrounds and whatnot. The biggest updates are all stylistic, and Reloaded is a significantly larger file!
Also as a note, Fragmented: was priced with the knowledge that if you purchase the game, you'll be sharing it with a friend, so don't feel weird about sharing the files with whomever you want to play with, but also life is tough and the game is now free so don't feel weird about taking the game for $0 for literally any reason.

hey I'm pulling up to say that a friend and I have played this multiple times since I found it and I still think it's the greatest game ever made. I find myself rereading what we've done in Fragmented and being in awe of how the prompts really unlocked creativity for us at a time of very little motivation. This is fantastic. The vibes are fantastic. The endgame is fantastic. The way narrative clicks together over what is a pretty short rulebook. I love it and am about to introduce it to some new people!
This is truly so nice???? Thank you! I'm honestly so glad anyone played it, I released it what felt like a lifetime ago! I'm so glad you've enjoyed it!
Hi! My friend and I are playing this game and are really enjoying it so far. We love the idea of using the Tarot as a way of randomizing the prompts.
We're both curious though, about the 23rd Higher Arcana (The Well)? We've never heard of it before and we're unable to find it online. Is it part of a particular edition of Tarot cards?
I had a deck that had the well, and I wrote the entire game before remembering that it just had that as an extra card in it for some reason??? Ended up keeping the card in on the off chance someone else was using the exact same deck, but I keep meaning to go back in and put a note that is an unusual card most decks don't have haha 😅 It's from the Ethereal Visions Illuminated Tarot deck though! Beautiful deck, super shiny.
Sorry about the confusion there, but super glad you're enjoying the game! Always lovely to hear things are actually getting played!
