These Old Bones

Immortality is not what you think it is. The body is not forever young, you are not immune to disease, you can be injured.

You can be killed.

The problem is you continue to live.

Our lives are engraved into our bones. Our history. You can trace an entire lifetime, from millenia ago, based on every little nick and where you happen to be buried.

Your immortality haunts this planet, haunts memories, haunts the very bones you’ve left behind.

And what a story yours could tell. 

These Old Bones is a story about deteriorating immortality, and how you, as an immortal being, continue to haunt the world when you would rather just die.

Created as an entry for the Lost Caravan RPG Game Jam for October 2023.
