 Dedicated to all those who have had
their lives irreparably ruined by the
choices they made under sound mind.

This game includes grotesque body horror, torture, dehumanization, bestiality, pregnancy,
sexual situations, and consenting to having horrible things done to you by someone you love.
Read and play with caution, keeping in mind that you can take a break or
stop completely at any time.

This is not a game about success or failure. This is not a game about escape. This game is meant
to be a challenging, harrowing, emotional, and downright grotesque exploration of your
transformation. If that doesn’t sound fun to you, that’s intentional.

Remember that you can change, ignore, rewrite or abandon any part of this game that you
want.
 W
WHO

WH
WHAT
You are a woman in her late 20s. Life has not
been kind to you, as much as you have tried
HO
to make things work. Your career was a mess,
you were estranged from those who were
supposed to love you, and you felt utterly lost
in your life, not knowing who you were and
what you were supposed to do.
But things changed when you met Him: a
handsome, intelligent young doctor who
came into your life and saw the light in you
where everyone else saw emptiness.
Like you, He’s lived a lonely life. Deep be-
neath His confident personality and self-as-
sured composure, you know that there’s a
vulnerable, forlorn little boy who just wants to
be loved. To love Him became your purpose.
HAT
This is a solo GM-less journaling game in
which you will document your surgical and
mental transformation into a horse by the love
of your life.
Your story will most likely end in your giving
in completely to your new life as a horse, but
there still lies the possibility that you might
change your mind and escape this life you’ve
chosen.
During the game you will roll dice, draw
cards from the deck and read their associated
events, pull blocks from the jenga tower, place
or remove tokens from cards, and write about
your experiences in character.
To truly live was to live with Him and for Him.
As time went on, you fell deeper in love as
you grew further and further away from your
friends and family - to the point where they
barely seemed to exist anymore. That’s okay
though. No one’s ever made you feel the way
He’s made you feel. With Him, you finally feel
safe.
So when He offers you a room in His mansion
where the both of you can live together in bliss
for the rest of your lives, you say “Yes!” - even
if the sole condition is that you’ll be surgically
and mentally transformed into a horse.
An entirely new body and mind is such a small
price to pay for a lifetime of peace and hap-
piness, you think.
If the jenga tower falls, you completely surren-
der to the transformation process, losing your
sense of humanity and succumbing to the wild
and free “you” you were always meant to be.
The game also ends if you draw all four Kings,
the last King you draw will tell you what hap-
pens.
To win, you must draw the Ace of Hearts and
complete the task that it specifies by removing
tokens from it over subsequent days. For a
shorter, easier game, place the Ace of Hearts
on the top of the deck after you’ve shuffled it,
so it’s the first card you’ll draw.
 HO
HOW

MON
MONTHS
To play, you will need:

OW
• A standard deck of cards with the jokers removed
• A 6-sided die
• 10 tokens (e.g. fingernail clippings, apple seeds)
• A jenga or other tumbling block tower (optional)
• A red marker or pen to draw on your naked skin
• Something to write in, such as a notebook or word processor

Set up your tumbling block tower (or replacement). Roll 1d6 and pull that many blocks from
the tower. Every block pulled represents how closer you are to giving yourself over to Him and
accepting your new life as a horse.

Shuffle the deck of cards and place it within reach. Record your first journal entry using the fol-
lowing script, or by writing your own similar entry.

For the full experience, I’d recommend you play the game completely naked while immersed in
nature. Start with Month # 1 and begin the game. For your first month, roll the die twice and
pick the higher number. Do not pull from the tower.

NTHS
The game is divided into months and each month has two steps: transforming/remembering and
writing.

Step One: Transforming/Remembering Step Two: Writing

Roll 1d6 and draw that number of cards from
the deck, placing them face down without
looking at them. Flip over the first card and
consult the tables below, completing any task
that the card tells you to do. Continue flipping
over the cards until you have flipped them all
over. Discard all cards unless a card tells you
otherwise.
Record your experiences in a journal. Write
about what has happened and what you feel,
expanding on and detailing whatever’s listed
on the card prompts. If you like, you can use
an alternative to a journal, such as making a
voice or video recording, writing letters, nar-
rating out loud, or simply imagining the sce-
nario in your head.

Understand that you can choose to ignore anything written on the cards, whether out of care for
yourself or because you simply choose to.
TOW
TOWER
ALTERNATIVES

DEC
THE DECK
If you don’t have a tumbling block tower, you can use an alternative to simulate the degrading
nature of such a tower.

WER
COUNT-DOWN DICE.
Set aside a number of dice with their dis-
played values equaling 30, such as three 10-
sided dice or two d20s with one die turned
to 20 and one turned to 10. You will not roll
these but will use them to count down from
30 to 1. Before you start the game, roll a 1d6
and subtract that amount from 30. This starting
number represents your already deteriorat-
ing body. Each time you would pull from the
tower, reduce the number by an additional 1.
When you reach 12, each time this number
is reduced, roll a 12-sided die (or two d6s).
If the number rolled is equal to or higher than
the number on your count-down dice, the
tower falls.
DICE TOWER
Start with two 6-sided dice sitting side-by-side
on the table. Whenever you are instructed to
pull from the tower, instead add a d6 on top
of one of your existing d6s. Your tower can
never be more than two dice wide. If the tower
falls at any time, even outside of a pull, the
game is over.
TOWERLESS
If you don’t wish to use a tower, you can
simply ignore any instruction to pull from the
tower. You are never in danger of losing the
game because the tower falls, which means
the game may stretch on much longer than it
normally would. If you want to play a longer
game, this may be a good option for you.

CK
The deck of cards is divided into four categories based on suits. Consult the tables below each
time you flip a card to determine what you must do. Some cards will have you pull from the
tower, place or remove tokens from a card, or have you shuffle a card back into the deck.
Some will ask you questions about your feelings or the situation.

♥ HIM
Your saviour. Your paramour. Your “everything
that you ever wanted”. A gifted doctor and
surgeon, He’s as well equipped to disfigure
you as He is to take care of you.
♣ REMEMBERING
Even though it’s far behind you by now, the
past still rummages around in your head like
a parasite. Now that you have a lot of time to
yourself, remembering is pretty much all you
do now.

♦US
It’s everything you wanted and it’s the happi-
est you’ve ever been. Sure, it’s not all sunshine
and smiles and sometimes you feel just as mis-
erable as you were before you met Him... but
nothing’s meant to be perfect, right?
♠ TRANSFORMATION
Your surgical and mental transformation into
your new life, courtesy of Him. You’re not
sure not to feel about it yet, but it’ll make Him
happy and that’s enough for now.
HI
A♥ LEAVING HIM
Something clicks inside you. This whole thing - it isn’t what you want. This isn’t going to make you
happy.
You make your decision. Now it’s time to plan your escape, but you’re going to have to be
careful about this. You know exactly what he’s capable of when he gets upset.
Do not discard this card. Put it to the side and place ten tokens on it. At the end of each day, after
writing in your journal, roll a d6. On a result of 6, remove a token from the card and describe
how you take one more step into freeing yourself from Him. When you remove the last token
from the card, make a final pull from the tower.

If the tower stands, you successfully escape and leave Him behind. Describe how you escape
to return back to your previous life, forever scarred by your experiences.

IM
If the tower falls, you escape, but only after killing Him and giving into the transformation.
Describe what happens to you, now that you’ve become more Horse than Girl.

2♥ HIS SMILE 3♥ HIS LIPS

You love his smile. - the way He grins at you
when He thinks you’re not looking. Him being
happy with you makes you feel happy with
yourself.
You love His kisses, how He knows the exact
pressure to use and where to use it. You love
how it shows that he’s sensitive on the in-
side. You love how He makes you feel as if
you deserve it.

Pull from the tower.

4♥ HIS WARMTH 5♥ HIS TOUCH

You love how you fall in love with Him each
and every day you wake up next to Him.
You love how He rubs His hand against your
cheek and pulls His body tightly against
yours. You love how it feels like waking up to
another dream.
You love how he touches you in all the places
you love, making you feel safe and wanted
with the slightest caress of his fingertips. You
love how He traces his fingers across your
skin, writing poems that spell His love for you.
Pull from the tower.
HI
6♥ HIS WORLD
You love how He remembers all the little
things about you, from how you like your
apples peeled and what you like to do when
you’re alone. You love how you’re His world
and how you know there’s nothing out there
for Him.
8♥ HIS GIFTS
You love Him because He listens intently to
needs, picking up on small things you say
and following up on them a few days later.
You love how much He asks you to be giving
towards Him. You love that it makes you feel
needed.
7♥ HIS VOICE
You love how He makes you shut up. How
He makes you surrender as He tells you what
you need to hear when you need to hear it.
Sometimes it’s nice to just let go.
Pull from the tower.
9♥ HIS ANGER
You love how you can make Him angry. How
He tries to talk you down with His intellect
and storms off when you refuse to budge.
You love the little games the two of you play.
It doesn’t matter who wins or loses at the end
of the day. One way or another, you’ll find
your way back in each others’ arms.
Pull from the tower.
10♥ HIS DEVOTION
You love how He tests your devotion to Him by threatening to kill someone you love or destroy
something important to you. It’s almost godlike, you think. You love how far He will go to keep
you here.

IM
J♥ HIS STRENGTH
You love how He holds you down, and how
He makes you want to stay. Even if you feel
like leaving, He’s already there to change
your mind. You love how sometimes it makes
Him insecure. You love that it shows how
much He needs you.
Q♥ HIS LOYALTY
You love how He needs you. You love how
He searches and screams in a panicky fit
when He wants you but can’t find you. You
love how He runs towards you upon seeing
you and holds you tightly as if you’re His life-
line.

Pull from the tower. Pull from the tower.

K♥ HIS EVERYTHING
You love how you need Him and He needs you. It’s like He was made for you as much as you
are being made to be for Him. It’s something you could see yourself enjoying for the foreseeable
future so you drop on your hocks to propose to a life of married bliss with Him. He responds with
a tearful yes.

Pull from the tower.

Do not discard this card. Set it aside where you can see it. If this is the fourth King you’ve drawn,
you have a beautiful wedding, just the two of you, by the creek where the fairy rings grow.

He pronounces the both of you Husband and Horse.

You give in completely into this life you’ve chosen.

THE GAME IS OVER.

U
A♦ DRAWING BOUNDARIES

US
In a moment of tenderness, He crosses a line with you. However, this causes you to realize your-
self as an equal partner in this relationship and draw a set of hard boundaries with Him, which
He is obliged to respect. He’s nothing without you, after all.

Do not discard this card. Set it aside where you can see it. If you’ve also drawn the Ace of
Hearts, you can remove a token when you roll a 5 or 6 at the end of the day.

2♦ A NICE WALK 3♦ A HABIT

He takes you for a scenic stroll around His
estate, leading you by the reins as He shows
you the quiet wonders such as a moss-cov-
ered lake and an ethereal cave hidden be-
hind a thicket.
You find one of His habits grating. Maybe it’s
the way He chews his food or the way He
doesn’t unclog your shower.
You bring it up to Him but the small tiff turns
into an argument. Eventually you make it up
to Him, as good couples always do, and
things go back to being quiet before the next
screaming match.

Pull from the tower.

4♦ A FIGHT 5♦ A WISH GRANTED

You and Him get into a fight about some-
thing major. Something about letting you go
outside of the estate for a spell. Something
about Him not giving you space. Something
about Him not being affectionate enough.
He offers to grant you a wish, any wish at
all - so as long as it doesn’t involve (1) you
leaving the estate and (2) reversing the trans-
formation. What do you ask of him?
Pull from the tower.

This time, He storms off in a rage and you

never truly find closure for it.
 U
6♦ DOING NOTHING
AT ALL
You know you’re settling down when the both
of you can enjoy the simple pleasure of just
being together, not doing much at all. It’s one
of your personal favourites, just enjoying the
feeling of being calm and present, letting
your head clear as the both of you simply
exist.
7♦ INTELLECTUAL
CONVERSATION
One of your favourite shared pastimes is hav-
ing a discussion about some important issue
or academic theory or whatever. No mat-
ter how heated it can get, at the end of the
day the both of you are left feeling a little bit
smarter than everyone else.

Pull from the tower.

8♦ CANDLELIGHT DINNER
He prepares a feast for the both of you, a finely curated selection of your favourite foods divid-
ed into childhood treats to organic desserts to plant-based vegetarian mains. It’s all very well
researched.

Pull from the tower.

9♦ LONG RIDES
He puts you in the back of His pickup truck and takes you for a drive up the mountain to enjoy
the fresh air and scenic views. He stops at a point where you can see all the peaks and dips of
the mountain range as they come together to form a magnificent landscape.

This is the farthest He’ll bring you from the estate.

Far away in the distance, you can see a multicoloured spattering of small town houses. You won-
der what their lives are like right now. You wonder what it’s like to be with other people.

Pull from the tower.

US
10♦ BROKEN BIRD
You find an injured bird bleeding to death underneath one of His many apple trees and bring
it back to Him, pleading that He save its life. He’s reluctant at first, but with enough pleading He
gives in just because you asked. You watch as He mends its wing, using medical tape to bind its
wing as it heals.

The bird seems to be healing fine until you find it dead in its cage at the end of the month. He
tries His best to console you.

J♦ SWEET
EVERYTHINGS
In a moment of vulnerability, you ask Him
to tell you everything about yourself: every
strength, every flaw, everything good and
bad and horrible about you. He tells you
everything you want to hear.
Pull from the tower.
Q♦ A NIGHT OF
PASSION
Everything falls into place. The mood is just
right. With a playful swish of your haunches,
you slip into a flattering bit and saddle and
tease Him into bed. It’s nice and intimate. You
feel truly loved. Validated. You feel as if your
body is acceptable to you, flaws and scars
and all.

Pull from the tower.

K♦ HUSBANDRY
A swollen abdomen and a rectal examination confirms that you’re pregnant with His child. He’s
ecstatic, loudly proclaiming his newfound Fatherhood throughout His halls. You wonder if you’ll
end up exactly like your own mother.

Do not discard this card. Set it aside where you can see it. If this is the fourth King you’ve
drawn, you stop thinking and surrender yourself to the transformation, giving into thoughts of
sweet carrot lunches and long walks in the nearby prairie.

A year later, you give birth to a beautiful half-human, half-horse child who shares your flowing
mane and elongated face.

THE GAME IS OVER.

Your siblings are probably still thinking of
you. Or maybe they’re not. Your relationship
with them wasn’t exactly the best. Maybe
that’s why you chose to leave them behind.
Even so, there were still some good times to
be had.
5♣ DADDY
Your father loved you in the only way he
knew how to, from a distance and with a
heavy hand. Still, he knew how to provide
and you could always count on him when it
came down to it.
You wonder why it wasn’t enough to prevent
you from becoming so fucked up.

Your grandparents died when you were very

Your mother left her successful career to raise
you and your siblings. Maybe that’s why she
was so harsh on you as you grew up. She
wanted you to become a version of her she
had to give up on being.
In many ways, you are becoming more and
more like your mother with each passing day.

Your friends used to be the people you could
rely on, until something happened which
drove a wedge between you and everyone
else. Something about not seeing eye to eye.
Something about them not being willing to
understand you.

Your old paramour, the one you thought
you would grow old with until someone did
something unforgivable. You blame him, of
course, but in retrospect you weren’t totally
innocent yourself either.

You wonder if your friends have wondered differently. You’re wondering if you were
where you’ve gone and if they still care at all. happier then than you are now.

10♣ YOUR FIRST TIME

Flashback to the first time you lost your virginity. You remember feeling scared and disgusted,
and then… strangely comforted. You remember the very moment you orgasmed for the first time
and how your mind was momentarily cleared of your anxieties and insecurities. You remember
wondering if this was how love felt like.

You remember falling hard for your then-boyfriend.

You remember how he left after and made you question yourself for years after if you could trust
yourself to not fall for someone who’d break your heart.

Pull from the tower.

J♣ HURTS
You remember all the shitty, hurtful things you’ve done to the people around you. You remember
how you did them because you wanted to protect yourself. You remember how they were sup-
posed to care.

BER
This is why you need Him in your life. At least with Him around, you can trust yourself to not be
powerful enough to hurt Him.

Pull from the tower.

Q♣ FUCK UPS
You remember how you fucked up the last big important thing to you. You remember what you
did exactly that caused your life to fall apart. You remember how it was all your fault and how
there’s nothing you can do to get it back.

Pull from the tower.

NG
K♣ SAFETY
You remember the night you truly opened up to Him and poured out the length and breadth of
your pain in choked sobs. You remember how He kissed you on the forehead after, gave you a
tight hug, and looked at you with zero judgement. You remember that moment as the safest you
had ever felt up til that point.

Pull from the tower.

Do not discard this card. Set it aside where you can see it. If this is the fourth King you’ve drawn,
you finally accept to yourself that no one will ever love you like He does and apart from Him,
you are truly and completely unlovable.

You wholeheartedly give into the life He has prepared for you, transformation and all.

A♠ WILDERNESS TRAINING
He now allows you to roam His estate freely, on the condition that you do it fully naked and do
not come into close contact with any other human that might pass by.

Sometimes, you trot straight up to the border of the estate, marked by a rotted wooden fence,
and gaze into the outside world. For a brief moment, you think about how easy it would be to
jump over and run away from this life you’ve chosen… but of course, you let the thought loose
and turn back to the mansion. It’s almost as if He knows you’re not going to leave anytime soon.

Do not discard this card. Set it aside where you can see it. If you’ve also drawn the Ace of

Hearts, you can remove a token when you roll a 5 or 6 at the end of the day.

2♠ BEDROOMING
He finishes constructing your new bedroom,
complete with a grand king-sized bed made
of hay and intricate paintings of grasslands
and mountains stretching from corner to cor-
ner. He tells you that this will be your new
stable where the both of you are to sleep in
every night. In a matter of minutes, you’re
helping him to break it in. While the bedding
is rough and itchy, you imagine you’ll get
3♠ HOOFING
He severs your toes and fingers, nailing large
silicon “hooves” into the bones in your palms
and at the balls of your feet. He then stretch-
es what remains of your skin over the top of
your new hooves and welds it together with
silicon and surgical wiring.
For this month, walking feels like utter agony,

4♠ SLEEP THERAPY 5♠ HAIR GROWTH

He implants titanium locks into your elbows
and knees which allows you to pop your
joints out and lock them in a standing posi-
tion. Once your wounds have healed, He
trains you to sleep upright on all fours through
a series of meditative hypnosis treatments but
only for minutes at a time. The lack of sleep
causes you to lose track of time as the nights
pass by, but eventually you learn to dream
within seconds of closing your eyes.
Draw red dotted lines across your eyes and
pull from the tower.
THERAPY
Through a mixture of corticosteroid injections
and hair root removal electrolysis treatments,
He shapes the crown of hair on your head
into a luscious mane which extends down
your neck. From some angles, it looks more
like an ugly mohawk than a proper mane,
but it’s fine because He seems pleased
enough with it.
Draw a red dotted line across your hairline

Every night before bed, He rubs a special

10♠ TROT THERAPY

He locks a customized body brace onto you that sends a sharp pain down your spine if you try
to walk upright. Trying to walk at first is rather awkward and clumsy and He gets rather angry
whenever you fall down. However, a few swift strikes to your haunches is enough to motivate
you to keep trying.

REMOVAL
He removes your clavicle bone and binds
your shoulders together in the front with sur-

renders the top half of your body totally un-
able to move properly until He places you on
a daily routine of steroid injections into your

bone and pull from the tower.
K♠ FACIAL ELONGATION
ON
The time for the most important part of your
transformation has come where He cuts up
your face and fits a framework of bones sliced
from your shins and ribs to your skull. Over
time, He removes flesh, fat, and tissue from
different parts of your body to build you a
new face that resembles a horse, but not quite.
Part of this process involves splitting the front
of your skull and opening it up like a cabinet,
spreading your eye sockets to the side and
moulding your nose into a snout.
After the surgery, your face is completely cov-
ered in bandages and you are unable to see
how you really like. You fear you might be
ugly, but He assures you that He’ll love you
regardless.
Q♠ SPEECH THERAPY
He takes a scalpel to your vocal cords
and slices off a few slivers of tissue. It’s not
enough to render you completely silent but
makes it more difficult for you to do anything
other than whinnying and braying.
He then teaches you to communicate with
your body, such as how to express pains and
wants with gestures and nudges.
He doesn’t punish you if you try to speak,
but you can tell how pleased He is when you
don’t.
Draw a red dotted line across the surface
of your tongue and down the front of your
neck. Then, pull from the tower.
By drawing red dotted lines, divide your
face into cheeks, nose, brow, and jawline.

Do not discard this card. Set it aside where
you can see it. If this is the fourth King you’ve
drawn, He unwraps your bandages, revealing
a scarred and malformed approximation of a
horse head made of lumpy bits of hard flesh,
stray patches of hair, and exposed bone. Your
heart sinks and you gaze into your new hide-
ous self, realizing that you’ve gone too far to
turn back. As He lovingly nuzzles the bumps
and crevices on your skin, you finally accept
that this is who you are and give into the trans-
formation.
THE GAME IS OVER.
THE
THE END
END
Take a moment.

Breathe.

What happened? Did you escape the estate and cut ties with your Beloved? Or did you give
into your transformation, accepting your new life as a horse and a wife?

Look at your body. Take time to look at the dotted lines you have drawn on your skin. Are you
happy with how things turned out? How far did the transformation go before the game ended?
How much of you has changed? Do you think there’s still a chance that things can go back to
normal?

Then, think about the choices you have made. Think about why you would’ve gone on for as
long as you did.

Ask yourself why you thought this was a good idea in the first place.

Ask yourself how far you would go to feel loved.

Ask yourself what you would do to feel safe.

HORSE GIRL is a body horror, solo journaling RPG
where you undergo a surgical and mental transfor-
mation into a horse by the love of your life.

“Out of the solo journaling games I’ve read, this is absolutely

my personal favorite. It jumps head first into extremely
difficult emotional territory by exploring the question of how
the need for love and security makes us subsume who we are
in our relationships.”
JUHANNA PETTERSSON
“This game is a horror story, but more than that, it’s a
tragedy. It’s a loss of self. Every little piece of yourself that
you mark is one of the obvious pieces that gets lost in the
process.”
BEK ANDREW
“The headspace of an ongoing abuse victim is never made
more clear than in this game’s execution. All of these
transformations are ostensibly consented to, something
that rings true for many abuse victims. We agree to things
that harm us because we’re made to feel as though there is
nothing else. Exploring that pain is the intention of this game,
and it is an incredible vehicle to do so. “
KATHLEEN HISLOP
“What a terrible day to be literate.”
