HOLE IN MY HEAD is a one-player ttrpg about fear, pain, mental illness, violence, and drills. You need 2d20 and this download.
Uses stuff i like from Solitary Defilement, Michigan Dogman, and other games. Inspired by movies like Darren Aronofsky's Pi, David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers, and Koji Shiraishi's Noroi: The Curse.
A small number of physical zines are available at worldchamp.io/store including a more breathy layout of the game text, additional art, and four pages of personal essays about suicide ideation and intrusive thoughts.

So glad to see you make something for the jam. Last year's Michigan Dogman was inspiring. I appreciate you delving into such a tough topic for this year's entry, and I hope it offers a healthy catharsis to anyone who might need it.
thank you so much! There’s some Michigan Dogman here mechanically for sure because I love how simple and evocative that game turned out, the magic is mostly in evocative prompt writing and letting people put themselves in that space, but doing so in a much more personal and intense way here. Appreciate you :)
hey how do you get pass the nsfw filter? /gen
not sure what you mean, I don’t think any of my games have nsfw content. The “drilling holes” in this is using a power tool to bore into your skull.
yeah thats gore. its considered horror/nsfw
