The City Stretches Out In All Directions Without Limits

Built on a lightly modified version of Takuma Okada's excellent Alone Among the Stars, The City Stretches Out is a solo game about imagining infinite and fantastic cities from the perspective of a person driving whatever that city's equivalent of a subway train is.

Thank you for this game. Sometimes I use it for formalized worldbuilding, but sometimes I write in this format for the joy of exploring, yknow? You've hit that perfect balance of structure and freedom: it really really works for me. Thank you!
I'm so glad you liked it! If you haven't tried it, you have to check out Alone Among the Stars. It's one of my favorite games of all time, and I cribbed, like 95% of the structure of this from Okada.
This is a wonderful experience.
This was a very reflective experience for me, as the dichotomy mechanic prompts thinking about what each component of a dichotomy means and how it relates to other components.
And this game helped me get towards more closure on a particular life event that changed everything for me forever.
So thank you for that.
Thank you for creating this! It is a very nice experience.
Ooh! This sounds cool as heck! I'm excited to give it a try!
