A card-based storygame based around the interactions between wizard and familiar. In this game, the wizard sets out to accomplish a task and is tempted by the familiar with ways that magic can help move forward. Depending on whether or not the magical aid is accepted, different consequences ensue and different cards are exchanged between characters. At the end of the game, the cards that each player has determines who gets to narrate the epilogue.
The setup of the game is clearly illustrated with in-document images as well as the text, and that setup drives the narrative choices of the game. The comparative knowledge and hidden information of the wizard would inherently lead them to make some choices in one way and others in another, leading ultimately to a more rich narrative. Overall, the guidance is a bit minimal for players newer to storygames, but for veterans, it can provide a smooth, enjoyable experience.
