Whoever owes in Belona, never leaves.

YAKEMY is a solo journaling RPG about working as an underground patcher in a collapsing cyberpunk metropolis.

You'll need a six-sided die (d6), a notebook or a note-taking app, and a playlist that smells of oil, neon, and burning circuits. Each in-game day, you:

• Roll 5d6 to determine your resources (Scrap & Chrome)
• Receive clients with specific demands and risk levels
• Build or improvise implants
• Accumulate Heat and Stress, each eating away at your life
• Write your day in a journal — an intimate record of your physical and mental decay

It’s a game about technological rot, the body as commodity, exhausting routines, and dreams that survive purely out of stubbornness.

> HOW THE GAME WORKS

>> 1. Hands on Chrome

Your day begins with Belona’s mood (via Oracle): acid rain, faction wars, drone lockdowns, bonuses, glitches. You also discover who’s at your door and what implant they need.

>> 2. See If You Are Good

Allocating dice is just the start. The results shape your day:

• Clean Chrome → perfect work
• Improvised Scrap → jury-rigged fix, Heat, and complications
• Boost → extra resources at the cost of your mind

>> 3. Resolving

Get paid… or don’t. Gain trouble… almost always. The client leaves, but the consequences stay.

>> 4. End of Day

Pay rent/bribes, try to reduce Heat, keep leftover Chrome, breathe, and write your journal. Tomorrow you do it all again.

> THE NEURAL MAP — THE COST OF STRESS

Whenever your Stress increases, you mark a deterioration in your Neural Map. Tics, tremors, loss of focus, processing glitches… nothing returns to normal.

YAKEMY is a challenging game about carrying scars — both physical and mental.

This project began with the goal of raising money to pay for the treatment of my beloved dog, Sansão. Unfortunately, he did not pull through and passed away, but he fought until the very end. Sansão, his siblings, and I are very grateful for all the support and love that the community has shown. 

Sansão and I thank you! Your support means a lot.
