AILING AWAY is a solo mystery game with historical romantic elements. It's like CLUE but it's meant for one player, you get to kiss some of the suspects, and there's no board to set up.
All you need to play is a copy of the rulebook, a deck of standard playing cards, a pair of ten-sided dice, and writing implements of your choosing. Players may choose to use the detective's journal bundled with the rulebook, but it is optional.
This game uses a standalone system designed to exploit the theme of this title. It is intended to be played solo, but could easily be played one-on-one with a single player and a game master. Every suspect is a potential friend or romantic partner, but one of them will die at random before the game begins. The player's goal is to find out who killed them, and why. Each time players try to learn a secret, they put either their social standing or their precarious health at risk. The consequences for failure can be very high: muddling detectives might be be sent home with tarnished reputations or even die of tuberculosis. Fostering relationships with each character in AILING AWAY is critical to a detective's success.
Alternatively, players can improve their odds by submitting themselves to the spa-hotel's curative treatments, or by giving gifts to the suspects they are interviewing.
