A Conversation Between Brothers.
When the world ended, you lost everything. You survived because you had each other.
Now, one of you has been infected. In your final days together, what will you say?
What is this?
The Time We Have is a game about what it means to be a brother—about all the complexity, vulnerability, and joy that comes with it. This is a storytelling card game played on opposite sides of a closed door and a conversation about saying goodbye.
This two-player zombie TTRPG will guide you through the tragic and intimate story of two brothers and the final days before one of you turns. You will take turns drawing cards, asking questions, and processing this change together.
Once the door is closed, your story begins. In the end, it is up to the surviving brother: Do you open the door?
