Up and Coming

You are a 100 year old apartment building and the last affordable housing unit in a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. A group of young activists and urban city planners are fighting for your survival. The mayor and his friends are prepping to steal your deed, tear you down and sell the land to an out-of-town investor. Your residents could become displaced and staff could lose their jobs. You don't know what will become of you. A local historian with the ability to change the future can hear your unique voice and has promised to tell your story. And you have a century's worth of story to tell.

In this solo journaling game, you are an apartment building that has been standing for 100 years. A local historian is your only audience, for now.

You will answer journal prompts, one for each season and four different years of your existence: Year 1, Year 50, Year 75, Year 100 which is the present day.
