Hi everyone! I just published my game, "The Black-Mouthed Fortune Teller", on itch.io!

Genre: Fortune Telling / Card Simulation

You can play the game here:   https://king25gpro.itch.io/the-black-mouthed-fortune-teller

About the game:

In this game, you encounter a fortune teller with a unique ability to read cards. You can ask her questions that have a clear "yes" or "no" answer (for example: "Will I get a new car?"). Using her magical abilities and years of experience, she performs a 3-stage card spread to reveal your answer.

I need an honest answer about my game. I would like to know about the mechanics themselves. Will it be interesting to play? What can be added to this game? If there are any bugs that can be fixed, and what content can be added instead? You can write a comment with all of the above and send a link to your game.

Thanks for checking it out!

It seems to me or the grannies need to add black humor 

Why is there a skeleton lying on the shelf? Can you explain?

Hi, I tried your game but got stuck, the granny just kept playing cards over and over, and I couldn’t figure out how to progress. I really like the sorcery mechanic though, and I’d love to try it again once it’s fixed.

General thoughts

Playtime: about 10 minutes

I think the core concept is interesting, but the current browser experience created too much friction for me to really settle into it.

What worked well

• The fortune-teller concept is simple and has a clear atmosphere.
• I can see the appeal if the goal is more of an experimental interactive experience than a traditional game.
• The 3D presentation gives it more personality than a basic card-reading interface.

What I would change

• I know you disclosed that the browser version has issues and needs to be played in fullscreen, but I would still prioritize fixing that as soon as possible. I had to refresh multiple times, and that level of friction made it hard for me to even want to continue playing.
• I would think more about the core game loop. Right now it reminds me a little of some early VR experiences that were more about being inside an interesting scene than actually playing a game. If that is the direction you want, I think you are on the right path. If you want it to feel more like a game, even an experimental one, I would explore giving the player more meaningful interaction or progression.

Overall, I think there is an interesting idea here, but I would focus first on making the browser experience reliable and then deciding how much you want this to be an interactive experience versus a more traditional game.

Please consider giving my game a try, it’s browser based with a tight 2-3 minute game loop: https://barelyplayable.itch.io/blade-baes-brawl
