Accused

A solo journaling RPG of accusation, honor, and divine judgment.

NonMajorNerd, DarthJaper, and DillyTodds

You are a knight accused of a terrible crime.
In five days, the Gods will decide your innocence through trial by combat.
Your accuser already has their champions.
You have only four days to gather allies willing to stake their lives on your honor.

Accused is a solo journaling RPG about reputation, guilt, memory, and the impossible weight of being judged. Recruit knights to your cause, confront painful truths about the accusation against you, and survive a brutal divine trial where every ally may fall in your name.

Some accusations are lies.

Some are not.

The Gods may not care.

How It Plays

Using a standard deck of cards, dice, and a journal you will:

• Build rival factions of knights
• Spend four in-game days recruiting defenders
• Journal confessions, memories, betrayals, and difficult conversations
• Gain and spend Renown to sway fate
• Fight a brutal trial by combat
• Discover whether the Gods judge you innocent or guilty

Every knight recruited, and every knight lost, becomes part of your story.

The game blends light tactical card play with guided journaling prompts, creating a narrative shaped by both strategy and emotional honesty.
