The Anchorites

You are shepherd for but a small portion of this sacred journey. You must spend your time in devotion to your sleeping flock, tending to those suspended in the unageing sleep of stasis while your years ebb away. It is a lonely task, you will only get to hear another human twice during your service. Once when you recieve your mantel, once when you pass it on.

The Anchorites is a roleplaying game about lonelyness and passing on a story.

You assume the role of a solitary shepherd, spending their life aboard a sleeping spaceship. They are there to tend to the other passengers in their state of stasis. The game focuses on the handing over of the role framing each 'shepherd's' life.

It is designed to be played over video chat in short 'one on one' sessions spread out over several weeks.
