Helan
A downloadable game
Also available in Spanish.
You decided to dedicate your life to accompanying travelers to their destination through the white sands of Helan. A past trauma sealed your distance from any urban center. You don’t need it either: the gifts sustain your lifestyle for a few more weeks. Getting to know their lives and the world around them feels, in some way, poetic and stimulating...
Could this perhaps be your destiny?
This road trip game is about the journey across the scattered points of Helan, separated by white sand. It centers on your relationship with the traveler you pick up, and how you build the world's story through your conversations. Of course, it’s also about how you care for your hoverbike, the weather, the landscapes you leave behind, the problems that arise, and the intimate night-time stops. About introspective reflections...
What will you find?
16-page zine with an optional 2-sided character sheet. If you enjoy Helan, stay tuned, I’ll be releasing free content soon.
Decidiste dedicar tu vida a acompañar viajeros hasta su destino a través de las arenas blancas de Helan. Un trauma del pasado selló tu distancia con todo núcleo urbano. Tampoco lo necesitas: los regalos aseguran tu estilo de vida durante unas semanas más. Conocer sus vidas y el mundo que los rodea te resulta, de algún modo, poético y estimulante...
¿Será acaso este tu sino?
Este juego road trip trata del viaje entre los distintos puntos de Helan, separados por la arena blanca. Se centra en tu relación con el viajero que recoges y de cómo construyes la historia del mundo a través de vuestras charlas. Por supuesto, trata de cómo cuidas tu aeromoto, de la climatología, del paisaje que dejáis atrás, de los problemas que surgen y de las íntimas paradas nocturnas. De introspectivas reflexiones...

As a big fan of Sable, this game seems (at least by description) to be the kind I've been longing for. I've actually tried to create a multitude of my own solo RPGs, because none seem to fit my taste. I'll give this a go.
Edit: The English character sheet is in spanish, could you fix this?
The character sheet in English is fixed now! Thanks for letting me know. I'm always making small changes to make things better, so if you want to share your thoughts after reading or playing, I'd really appreciate it. Your opinion as a big Sable fan can help me a lot :) You can leave a comment here or contact me on Bluesky or by email through my website. Thanks for everything!
Immediate buy, I can’t wait to try it out! Also Sable has been in my wishlist for the longest time, maybe Helan will give me the push I need to finally play it :)
Oh, what an honor! I really love your work, the visual finish, and the tone you give it. I enjoyed a lot playing A Lonely Kid Doing Brave Stuff ♡. I'll be correcting and improving the experience all this month, so feel free to download it again when you go to play it :) And if one day you're interested in having a Spanish translation of one of your ttrpgs, or your next one (and it's not 599 pages haha!), let me know, because I'd love to try that area someday as well. Thanks a lot! (Sable is super cool!) .
Thanks, it really means a lot ♡ and I’ll be sure to do it and give you a proper feedback once I play Helan. Also, I’d love to! I’ve actually been thinking about asking if you’d be interested in an Italian translation of your work as well, so let’s keep in touch! Feel free to write me at the email that’s on my profile so we can better discuss it, if you want :)
Great! I'll write you!
Lovely layout and premise!
Thank you so much, and I hope you enjoy it if you play! Have a great journey through Helan!
