This solo game by Ben Auden Roswell is a hack of Takuma Okada's Alone Among the Stars. It's a clever generator for creating a journal full of moments of dread and horror as something unknown inexorably takes over your life. You can play this game one day at a time, writing in a journal or as tweets, or you can just do all of it in one go like I did here.

Each moment of horror is generated by drawing a playing card, which determines what kind of event occurs, while a die roll tells you what kind of change this horror heralds (Horror, Transformation, Enclosure) and when you record your fifth tally in this category, the game ends. I dramatised my ending a bit, but otherwise played by the rules!

Thanks to the author for a chilling time playing this game. And thanks to my partner Elisha for pointing it out to me.
