From the introduction: Imagine a man who finds you perfect in every way. You are a deity, normally above mortals, but the depths of his passion demand a response. You find yourself deeply ambivalent about his desire. You decide to put him through some painful trials. User summary: Although Beholden was published as "A solo RPG", essentially it requires the Beloved rules to play. It is a variant game using those rules, but they are not fully included in the document.
