Threshold: Broken Orbit

Threshold: Broken Orbit

A survival-themed creative writing game for students, storytellers and teachers.

You wake in a broken world.

A signal pulses from deep space.

You’re low on oxygen… and not alone.

Threshold: Broken Orbit is a writing adventure set in a crumbling sci-fi universe where every decision shapes your story. Choose a character, explore eerie settings, and face survival challenges that force hard choices. Your mission? Write to survive. Survive to transform.

What’s Included:

• 16-page PDF story-building guide
• Character creation tools
• Setting and conflict generators
• Story structure & descriptive writing support
• Supporting characters, prompts & ideas
• Fully flexible for classrooms, solo writers, and workshops
• Available as an A4 print friendly version or as an A5 booklet (fold and staple).

Why I'm Excited to Share This

This resource was designed to make creative writing feel exciting, personal, and powerful — especially for students who don’t usually love writing.

It helps writers build confidence in:

• Descriptive detail
• Character depth
• Story structure
• Emotional voice

Whether you’re using it as a journal, class project, solo adventure, or shared writing game, Threshold is meant to remind people that writing can be a place of discovery.

A Note on Sharing

This is a personal-use product — it took time, imagination and care to make. If you enjoy it, please don’t share copies around. Instead, direct others to inkwelleducation.com where they can support creative education too. I priced it as I did to allow you the option to pay more (e.g. teachers, if you're giving your whole class a copy, maybe send a little something extra my way?).

In short: I made it cheap because I want lots of people to enjoy it — please support me in that rationale by sharing the link, not the file.

A Note on Printing the A5 Booklet

- Use A4 or Letter size paper

- Print double-sided, flip on short edge

- Choose “booklet layout” or manually fold and staple after printing
