Run on Ventacorp

RUN ON VENTACORP is a new, experimental take on the solo journaling TTRPG. It's a DTRPG – a Desktop Role-Playing Game. In this game, you will raid the servers of the tech corporation Ventacorp by editing folders and rewriting text files.

The main rule? If you see lowercase text, you can rewrite it.

VENTACORP is something between a journaling game and a point-and-click adventure game. Most of the rules are deliberately left ambiguous, so you get to decide how those two elements are balanced.

Some things you might do in RUN ON VENTACORP:

• Steal your boss' password

RUN ON VENTACORP was originally released as part of the award-winning Forgotten Palaces trilogy as a kind of free demo. Thanks to my Mac consultants Nathan D. Paoletta and Kevin Sheehan for making sure the game text is accurate to both Windows and Mac OSes. And thanks to Charles O'Rear for taking the photograph that became the Windows desktop wallpaper, Bliss.

Fuck the IDF, free Palestine.
