I Saw A Flame Upon The Hill
A downloadable game
The Disciple hears a calling.
The Celestine is real. It is greater than you. It has a message.
But it does not speak your language.
It will speak in metaphor and enigma.
All you want is to understand.
A game about faith, symbolism, and trying to figure out what the world wants from you.
About the game
A GM-less storytelling game for two players.
One player is the Celestine: power and mystery. One player is the Disciple: a mortal prophet.
The two of you try to understand each other. You might build a religion along the way.
It takes about an hour and can be played remotely.
You need a way to randomly generate numbers between 1 and 100 (eg two 10-sided dice); any novel, ideally in a fantastical genre; a device that can search the internet; and a way to make notes.

I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS!!!
a friend and i played this game and we ended up with this Celestine that manifested as this starchild and an older wise owlbeast who just suddenly got these visions. here's what the starchild's truths and the laws ended up being:
- Truth: **Knowledge** must always be shared.
Law: We ask for wisdom at a great risk but rarely is it ever given.
- Truth: The world is inherently **beautiful**.
Law: The grand majestic works of nature are eternal.
- Truth: The **night** is faced in arms.
Law: Together we hold great strength but alone we are powerless against the uncaring nature of the world.
im going to play this with so many more people <333 and with more interesting and insane gods and disciples. thank you for such a lovely experience!!
i really love how it also plays like high level pictionary/charades. its really fun even just as a raw experience, and the added spiritual nature and meaning makes it so much more heartier
also, beautiful art and style!! the aesthetic is so well done :))
