Safety

As a solo activity, this game does not require you to negotiate boundaries and acceptable topics with others. However, you may find it helpful to consider your own boundaries. If, at any time, this game triggers feelings of discomfort or loneliness, stop and step away until you feel comfortable enough to continue.

For example, you may find some topics in the Events (including death, illness, and disability) disturbing or uncomfortable. If something does not work for you, feel free to change any portion of the game at any time.
