The Mother of Death Will Drown Tonight

Marzanna, Marzanna, into the river you will go.

The Mother of Death Will Drown Tonight is a melancholic game about death, mourning, and the transition from childhood to adulthood. It is a solo TTRPG in which you will play a young woman creating a doll representing Marzanna, the Slavic goddess of death, passage of time, and winter. The doll is to be drowned on the Spring Equinox to chase away winter and the death of nature.

While playing you will answer reflective prompts about your character to collect the different items needed to make the doll. Then you will journal through the drowning ceremony and telling goodbye to winter, Marzanna, and to your character's childhood.

To play you will need 3d6 and a single d4.
