*You have been here at the library longer than anyone else. You have seen countless patrons browse the stacks, each searching for something, whether they know it or not.* *Sometimes their search leads them to you.* *Sometimes you are taken down, consulted, and are momentarily allowed to contribute to the world.* *Then it is time again to wait.* **ARCHIVED** is a solo journaling game where you tell the story of a book, map, or other article found in the library. The story unfolds as patrons engage with you, use you for their own ends, and eventually return you to your shelf to wait. Over the course of time you will change not only physically but also how you feel and identify. At the end of the game, you will look back on your past. What will you see when that time comes? This game includes a 42 page booklet in both color and B\&W (coming soon) versions, perfect for screens or home printing. **CONTENT WARNING**: This game deals with topics of isolation, loneliness, and being used. Play at your own pace, stop when you need, and please take care of yourself. ## What You Need All you need to play are these rules, something to write on and write with, a method of tracking time, a quiet place to play, and an hour or two of your time. You can also play in a series of sessions, completing one of the four sections in about 15 to 30 minutes each. ## Attribution **ARCHIVED** is based on the Lost & Found system created by Jack Harrison and Matt Sanders. It was created for the Lost & Found Jam.
