While the "analog horror" of MIRU 2 (or MIIRU) ultimately fell flat, this solo hexcrawl succeeds as a sequel by tinkering with the original's structure and understanding what makes iteration fun.

"This vague, Fromsoftian way of writing the setting has encouraged people to discuss and speculate a lot, and I wanna add fuel to that fire." I stand by this. Salt, Spit and Silver is available soon. My goal is that it will make characters feel more grounded in a slightly more fleshed-out world.
