Soft Chaos is ecstatic to announce that we're now crowdfunding a print run of Cadences: The Story of a Distance and Its Pair through IndieGoGo as part of #ZineMonth! 

If you've played our past work, you know that we love to create intimate games that connect people. That's even more explicit with Cadences, which is a game about exploring the form and meaning of the Distance between a Pair of people. 

Please support us by sharing the crowdfunding page, and, if you're so inclined, taking advantage of our earlybird prices to get yourself a copy! If you back us, you get instant access (like, within a day so that we can generate you an Itch code) to the digital version of the game. The game is complete and already at the printers. 

Here's a little bit more about the game:

Cadences: The Story of a Distance and Its Pair is a game designed to be played by two people asynchronously. Together, players create the story of a relationship’s life, from the moment of its conception until the moment it ends. Maybe your Pair will be a cashier and a customer, a parent and child, two members of a five-person polycule, best friends, or even mortal enemies*.

*Enemies to lovers? Enemies to lovers!  

In Cadences, there are two roles for the players: The Distance and The Pair.

The Distance is ever-shifting and mysterious. Playing The Distance means seeking to find words and metaphors to describe something abstract and mutable.

The Pair is human and flawed. Playing The Pair means playing a grounding, concrete role in contrast to the metaphorical and amorphous nature of the Distance.
