The Words We Leave Behind

You are a Proxy, an agent of change fighting an endless war across time and space. Your missions will reshape reality, bending it towards the future that your superiors desire.

But you are not alone.

You have a counterpart. An agent working for another faction who seeks to shape the flow of history and divert it to their own vision. They are your opposite. Your reflection. Your foil. Your nemesis. You know next to nothing about them.

And they intrigue you…

The Words We Leave Behind is a duet RPG about time travel and the butterfly effect. As you traverse the time stream you will work to rewrite history for your Faction while your opposite number does the same. Watch as your changes cascade down the timestream and slowly accumulating to build a new and unexpected history.

To play The Words We Leave Behind you will need:

• 2 players
• A deck of cards each
• An online document that you can both edit
• A way to message one another

Alongside a series of optional rules is a dedicated solo game - The Worlds I Wrote For You. Work to restore your own timeline by manipulating four parallel realities in the hope of rebuilding just one perfect memory.
