You changeling thing

This solo journaling game has a mystery at its changeling heart: you. 

London, 1816. The Merryweather household. Summoned by a promise made to one of the fair folk, you have until the next full moon to learn what you can about your unfamiliar, and all-too-human, surroundings.

Which of these people made a promise to a fairy? Who was spirited away? What was received in return? You may learn some the answers to some of these questions before your curiosity wanes and you become something oh so very close to human. 

-

To play you will need something to write with, as well as one six-sided and one twenty-side die.
