Made for the Record Collection 2K23 Game Jam, and based on the album The Fool in
Her Wedding Gown by The Crane Wives


The year is 1848, and gold has been struck in California. Your husband has decided now would be the time to catch his fortune, and he wants you to come with him. Of course, you agree. You love him after all.
The Fool Who Got Married is a game about surviving a trip out west, and hoping your
marriage survives it too. The game is told through letters written home to your family.
First, you must choose what kind of people you and your husband are, and how large your family is.

---

A solo-letter game, The Fool Who Got Married explores moving out west and leaving everything behind - including your family. Told through letters written home, you discover what it means to stay connected to those you miss. 

You play the game using the songs themselves as prompts and timers. 

If you choose to travel out west - good luck. And be careful.

What you need for this game: somewhere to keep track of your letters, a d12, and access to The Fool in Her Wedding Gown by The Crane Wives.
