The Disappearing is a collaborative storytelling game designed for four players. In this fictional world, things are disappearing mysteriously, and players answer prompts that ask them to imagine how they and others are responding to these profound changes. The game is played asynchronously until the final round, when all players gather to review the narrative they have created together and reflect on their exchanges. The Disappearing features original illustrations by my cousin and creative collaborator, Erin Jordan.

The Disappearing was created as part a workshop series titled Speculating the Environment hosted at Pratt Institute from Fall 2022 to Spring 2023 that convened scientists, writers, artists and others working on climate change in their professional and creative practices.
