I also thought about tarot cards for the theme! However, I didn't include them in my game.

Awesome submission for the jam, I love the art and music. All in all an enjoyable little fortune telling session.

Thanks, I just improvised something quickly on my guitar so I am happily suprised that people like the music. How were you planning on using tarot cards?

My team was thinking some sort of roguelike dungeon crawler. Each floor you would draw a handful of cards to determine the 'fate' of the floor. They would affect things from games rules to hazards to enemies, maybe even the player themselves.

God I love this! It is so well written with some lore hidden beind the little hints about the cards.

I would have loved a little summary of all 3 cards at the end of a topic, like don't tell me the outcome of a card right after it, but the whole thing after I have picked the order of the cards.

Really well done!

Thanks, I tried to add a bit of lore.  Idk, the idea of humans being lovecraftian monsters is really funny to me. I like your suggestion and it would have saved a bunch of time too, although it would probably make for a pretty different experience.

Interesting take on the theme!

This game has an original take on the theme, I wasn't expecting to see such a thing. The game is fun, has great audio and great visual. I'm impressed, congrats!

A pretty neat execution of a concept, and a more playful approach to tarot on the visual design front than I often see. The music is pretty good, and the gameplay is simple but effective - it does what it means to do. Nice work!

This was certainly a surprise!

this was alot of fun and i liked the idea

I didn't expect to see this here! Nice take on the theme, it reminds me of Reigns. The art is fantastic and the music catchy, overall a very unique take on this year's jam. Best of luck!
