Okay this was a rather fascinating game. I love when games don't hand hold your hand but rather you have to do the work. I instantly got disco elysium vibes. Only thing I would add is using eerie voices to read out the cards!

I love this! Such a cool gameplay mechanic for interacting with a story. The art is also great! The demon tableaus remind me of tarot cards.

The most unique game of this Jam of all that I played! It's like a card deck builder game, but the cards have stories. I didn't fully understand some of it, and I am gonna replay it to get a better idea, but the vibe and the style were really cool and memorable!

This is such a great idea, I love the juice of the cards shuffling and being played, as well as the general art style and gameplay loop. The ambient audio is also a really nice touch.

My only real complaint is that the dialogue box seems to disappear suddenly before I get a chance to read the conclusion of each card, which is a bummer because I DO really like the writing!

Sooo unique! 😮 The card + visual novel mix is such a cool idea, and the art/UI look amazing. A tiny explanation for the cards would help, but overall really polished! 🔥

Really cool and interesting game. I can see how people are going to love this. the art style and audio are super!

I didn't really understand what the purpose of each card and what do I get from choosing that specific one compared to the others. it would be better if there would be some kind of explanation before starting the game hehe

But apart from that the game is very polished and really good. I did enjoy playing it even though its not really the kind of games i'm usually going for. but its really cool and I liked it.

congratulations on your game and good luck!
