Rolling Alone: Steam Spies, More Brain Science and Indie Game Design

Welcome to the Rolling Alone Podcast The "home base" for this show is the Rolling Alone Substack Drop by, comment, like, and share. I write 3-4 posts per week, including reviews, tips, ideas and play reports about my Solo RPG journey. Join me as I "think aloud" about designing my upcoming Solo RPG. I have created a 2-page version for the 2026 Game Jam. It's a vertical slice of the eventual full game, and you can download and play it as PWYW on Itch. My 2-page game is called The Apartment Below. Feedback welcome! I will be updating the game and discussing it on my Substack I have started a Ko-Fi page for those who might want to support the podcast. Head over to the Rolling Alone Ko-Fi to make a donation. Everything received will go towards improving and developing this podcast.
