In this special solo RPG spotlight, The Little Game Helper takes you on a journey through three very different — but equally compelling — tabletop experiences built for one player at the table.
First up is Broken Cask, a cozy fantasy solo RPG that flips the usual adventuring script. Instead of slaying monsters or looting dungeons, you step into the shoes of an innkeeper in a whimsical tavern where heroes gather, gossip flows freely, and every guest brings a story. Manage your tavern’s staff, deal with quirky patrons, and craft your own narrative as the heart of a bustling fantasy crossroads. It’s light on rules and heavy on storytelling, perfect for players who want a relaxing but engaging solo narrative.
Next, we explore Tinyoji, a gentle, miniature-world solo journaling RPG that celebrates the quiet magic of everyday life. In Tinyoji, your “tiny folk” inhabit a world where blades of grass are towering trees and simple tasks — tending gardens, helping neighbors, collecting keepsakes — become meaningful stories. Designed for short sessions and beautiful journaling, this game is all about reflective play and creative prompts that help you weave heartfelt tales in a peaceful, cozy setting.
Finally, we take a darker turn with The Wretched, a solo sci-fi horror RPG that throws you into the desperate survival of a lone crew member stranded aboard a crippled starship after a horrific alien encounter. Using a deck of cards and a tumbling block tower as your storytelling mechanics, The Wretched forces you to balance dwindling resources, rising tension, and the very real threat of isolation and fear as you struggle to survive. It’s a tense, narrative-driven experience that leans into psychological dread and resilience.
Whether you’re into cozy tavern tales, tiny adventures in miniature realms, or heart-pounding space-horror epics, this episode of The Little Game Helper gives you a sample of what makes each of these solo RPGs special — and how they can light up your imagination when you’re playing alone.
