Frivolous question - solo horror game

[radiantfracture]

I am nearing completion (fingers crossed) on a little winter solstice horror game that uses solitaire as its mechanic.

You will not be surprised to learn that this is is pretty much a solo journalling game with prompts. However, the solitaire mechanic does impose (I hope, anyway) a kind of melancholy fatalism.

I have been calling the game Solitary for obvious reasons, but of course there are many many many many games on Itch alone already called Solitairy. Any thoughts on an alternate title?

I feel like there can be some play on solstice and terra. Sol Terra?

A few ideas to play off of:
Isolatoire
White Squall/Snow Squall
It's Just the Radiator
Eat Defeat

Lol to It's Just the Radiator.

Now I kind of want a Cremation of Sam McGee game. Is that weird?

I can't help because my brain immediately generated Solstitude and it's jammed any reasonable alternatives.

[radiantfracture]

Ha. Would definitely name a different game that, though.

Something to do with Patience ? Im/patience?

One of my older French profs told me that you can use it as divination. Just think of your yes/no question while you're playing. He said CDG was known to play for hours while he was out of power...

Now that you tell me this, it makes perfect sense.

Patience is pretty good! It has some of the same starkness.

Solitary Solstice leapt to mind.
