This was made as part of Prokopetz's November 2024 200-Word Unofficial TTRPG Game Jam.

You are the minotaur, feared, terrible, monstrous, lonely. Many have come to kill you. Many have died. You have to eat. Your inevitable end creeps closer.

Head of a Bull was not actually my first attempt at a 200-word game during the jam. My original attempt may eventually see the light of day, but the mechanics as they were didn't feel satisfying in the way I wanted. The base concept was about running a bus system and trying to avoid bankrupting yourself while still providing the service.

In case it wasn't obvious, I quite like Greek myths. Between this and The Boulder, I'm enjoying tragic games based on well-known myths and I'm sure there'll be more in future.
