This is an EXTRA SPECIAL one shot as we're playing a game that isn't even released yet! Katie leads Avery, Emily, and Zee through a session of Lethe, and why summarize it when the pitch itself is so good:
"Your characters wake up on the shore of a river knowing only their name and are tasked with finding who they used to be and how much of that person they want to be going forward. Only the GM knows the character backstories or their stats, skills, and abilities. The players must play to find out who they used to be and who they wish to become."
