This is fantastic!!! I'm a massive fan of artifact games, where you create something that now exists and wouldn't have otherwise without the game. And this is SUCH a good one! I love that you not only create the home, you then write about it as well! I'm already looking around my room for things that might make a nice lil cozy, cute home for my tiny self 🧡

An ingenious use of the 12-Word RPG Jam format. 

I absolutely love games that involve making wonders out of the mundane. 

Great stuff!

Using what you already have and gifting it a new context within a story, connecting items by giving them a shared history - that's such a lovely concept! Having the story on the jar as a little label would be so cute, people can pick them up and have a look themselves... I think this would also make  a very thoughtful gift. Love it <3
