Found a typo: “cabt tell how”.
Unfortunately I didn’t have a full poker deck, just 36 cards, didn’t have cards from 2 to 5. So far finished with 41 mystery and 68 frustration points, so I guess I lost :^) Seven of spades really got me!
Overall a very fun experience, I liked the story and the love theme. Benign things were really benign, almost boring to read :^) Thank you for this wonderful experience!
I played through and this was wonderful! Great use of the bonus themes. The scoring system was easy to use and balanced well enough that it maintained tension (one day, Solving would have a great lead and the next would be just full of Frustration) without ever feeling like it was hopeless.
The story was enjoyable and now I’m just so curious about what ultimately happened to Amber & Carne (but I’m worried that it’s baaaad…)
