Oh my, there is so much style in this one. Noticed a few things when playing: 1. The hanged man is in the book twice, replacing hierophant 2. Hermit = Hemit 3. The answer texts really do not seem to describe what it says in the book (Mass effect dialogue syndrome).

Wow! This is very beautiful art. Tarot cards, fortune telling—I like it. The sound of the characters' conversations has become annoying.


I would be glad if you play our game.

Great game. Love the music and the jokes. I agree, it doesnt seem to match the answers with the book to me. Thanks for the game.

This is so freaking cool, please expand this game and put it on steam or something I dunno. It ended too soon, I was so immersed haha

Would love to see this game expanded! Humor and Art are top tier, and deducing the meaning of the cards was satisfying. Would have liked to be able to see the cards in some way while reading the book, as I found myself switching back and forth a few times

Nice little game! Great sound and I really liked the goblin shaped text box :D But I do wish it was a little bit longer, maybe three clients or so. Well done!

J'ai lu "les gros shlags" et la j'ai su que ce serait banger. Visuellement incroyable, humour au poil. Ca donne vraiment envie d'avoir une version longue ! Bravo la tcheam

@albinobat Glad you loved the game! I kind of like the fact that you need to go back and forth between the book and the cards, that was something I was aiming for, it helps with the deciphering feeling I think. But you’ve got a point, in the long run I can understand that it could become annoying.

@jawdan @aviv-levy @bjornstenlund @tailchaser Thank you all, I'm glad you liked the game so much! (I was unsure at first if the game was even understandable, but now we might add just a tad more 👍)

Haha, very nice!

I had a bit of a trouble deciphering the cards combination, but that's the feel of the game, right?

Would love to play more!

This is really good! I loved how the text box changed depending on who was speaking. I also likes how it was a bit of a puzzle to translate the book into answers.

Amazing level of polish! Solid concept with great art style and sound design!
It’d be nice to have the option to switch between pages directly from the table of contents.

Really cool small game! I love the polished details you added, like the different speech bubbles and the swinging of the decorations. I had fun deciphering the meaning of the cards, I just wished it went on longer - it still felt like the intro to the game. :D
No idea what to improve, except for more clients. Felt great!

Super jeu, j'ai adoré le concept et la DA! Très fun de chercher les significations des cartes et de conseiller de chanter du Britney Spears pour ne pas mourir... x)
Le seul petit feedback que je pourrais donner serait de pouvoir faire passer les textes plus vite en cliquant pour les personnes qui lisent vite !

I hope you continue to develop this game because I had a blast. Incredible artwork and the dialogue is so smooth!

This is really cute! the art is fantastic, and the writing is really good. genuinely laughed at a few of the bits. i really like the little bit of lateral thinking required with the clues, it acts an interesting middle-ground between simple memory and pure deductive reasoning, while also adding a sense of humor to the game. of course it would be nice if the game was longer, but what's there is fun on its own. nice work :)

@sergs-workshop Yeah we wanted to add this feature but didn’t have time unfortunately

@snowpriestess Content que ça t’ait bien plu :D ! En fait j’avais ajouté la possibilité de passer les textes, mais je l’ai retirée dans le build final. Comme c’est un jeu d’énigmes, lorsque les gens passaient du texte ils pensaient parfois avoir loupé un dialogue essentiel.

@torcado Thanks a lot! That means a lot coming from you! I've been enjoying your games for a few years now, so it's awesome that it's the other way around this time :D

This game is absolutely amazing — the attention to detail is off the charts.
It’s really rare for narrative games to shine in a jam; they usually have way too much text and lose the player’s focus.
But this one hooked me right away, and even though it’s short, I really loved it.

The art style reminds me a bit of Supergiant Games — beautiful work all around.
