OK! I finished Little Match Girl 5, and wrote way too many words about it. Mostly spoilers! The short version is that you should play the game and draw your own map when you get to the end section. I’m utterly delighted that the RNG sent me here; I feel like this whole marathon endeavor could be worth it for that game alone.
But! I have more map to cover! This time I have seven possible open spots near me. And unlike last time, this time there’s a mix of games other people have played and games other people haven’t. I went back and forth in my head whether I should bias my die roll in favor of one class or the other: on the one hand, it’d be fun to compare notes with someone else who played the same game, and on the other, it would be sad if someone’s game ended up on this map and never got played. And those two competing thoughts cancelled each other out, and I’m just going straight random. Once again, ‘1’ means ‘north’, ‘2’ means ‘northeast’ etc., skipping ‘south’ this time, since I’ve been there already (so a 5 is ‘southwest’, and an 8 is ‘reroll’):
A 3! East it is, to B5: ‘New Year’s Eve, 2019’ by Autumn Chen. An unplayed game! I’ll report back soon. I hope.
