A Diversion to a Bundle of Games


Singles & Returns is a way to tell stories that mix nostalgia and fairytale, centred around the passengers on a bus that serves anyone who can pay the fare, and even several who can’t. You’ll meet some fascinating people onboard, talk to them and then get off again. Inspired by the works of Studio Ghibli, there’s no pressure or urgency in this game, no great threat to overcome, just simple, everyday, minor panics: will she like me? Will I get the job? Will I be late? As the bus takes them each toward their destination, they have time to share what’s on their mind, listen and give advice, and maybe lend a helping hand on the way.

In addition, this game is part of the TTRPGs for Reproductive Rights bundle, set-up to support Planned Parenthood and the NNAF in the USA after reproductive rights came under threat by the Supreme Court there. At the time of writing this, the bundle has smashed through all its intiital targets and is currently standing at $122,000 of its $125,000 goal, so please, please help it to reach that target today!

As a further incentive, I've added more content to this game, in the form of one of possibly many expansions! Diversion 1: The Route of All Evil offers a new set of twelve stops, with accompanying passengers and reasons for travelling. This Diversion has a Gothic horror theme and you will find monsters, witches, cultists and outlaws travelling between the cemetery, vampire's castle, slum district and hangman's noose on their journeys! The price remains the same for the basic game plus any and all Diversions that are added.
