Designer blurb: Precious Little Animal is a one-player game about noticing the good things in your life, and sharing them with an imaginary animal friend. Play for 15-30 minutes, at the end of each day, for seven days. In Precious Little Animal, you’ll take a few minutes at the end of the day to reflect on what happened that day: what you did, what you’ll remember, and what you enjoyed. At the same time, you’ll be writing a story about a cute little animal. You’ll take a few things that happened to you each day, and have them happen to your animal, too. Make a little animal friend. On the first day, you’ll write about (or draw!) a little animal. On each day you’re playing, you’ll write down three good things that happened that day. Then you’ll figure out how those things happened to your animal. Maybe your call with a friend was a visit from a friendly Raccoon. Maybe your hour of uninterrupted work time was their quiet hour in the vegetable garden. Maybe your moment of noticing just how blue and clear the sky can be happened just the same way to them. Your journal of your own life will also be a record of theirs. In my experience, this practice of writing three good things has become more difficult during times of intense suffering and uncertainty – but also more vital and more satisfying. I hope that through this simple week of journaling, players will share my experience of being more attuned to moments of contentment, and find simple joys glittering and urgent like shards of glass in the dirt.
