The Well of Sickness Shimmering is many things: a janky gamified writer’s tool. Holy well folklore fan-fic. An early draft of The Unseelie Artist’s Way. The poison & the cure. A soggy machine burping sonnets on the spot. 

Its reservoirs of lore now puddles on the floor, The Well thirsts for pilgrims & the stories they need tell. Its guts hunger after adjectives. Its pipe-works parched for prepositions. 

This is where u come in, dear pilgrim. Ur own fetid lore may yet feed The Well’s oracle fields. After all, good yarns make great soil. 

The Well of Sickness Shimmering was made by Belladonna Paloma & Uma Breakdown, with code magic by Elle Bulger, & the generous support of Bristol + Bath Creative R&D’s Trailblazer Fund. Made with Unity, Blender, Aseprite, GIMP, & the Haunted PSX Render Pipeline. It is a sequel to Uma & Belladonna’s 2022 game, Surface of Scum, a necrotic character generator
