It’s ambitious to go for a VN during a game jam, and I think you won your bet! I like this kind of stories where you are thrown into some nonsensical situation but you get hooked to the characters and their motivations.

Good job!

Really cool interpretation of the theme!  the story was well written, and I liked the twists in it (and that the characters were named after the major arcana). 

I didn't finish, but I'll be back after work to finish it.

Great story and twist on the theme. I don't have enough experience with VNs to comment on the structure, but little things like being able to decide the outcome of the dice and check already collected memories was a great touch. I think that with a little more revision to clear out some spelling/grammar issues, it'd be a pretty polished VN ^^ Great work, and I'll def be back to try and get a different ending

Thanks a lot for playing ! There are only two ending, the first one is the "neutral" one, that you'll get if you decide to not push the investigation further. The other one is the "True" one, that you get once you collected most of the memory shard and solved the mystery.

I got a "neutral" ending. The idea was really great, and the setup worked well as a short murder mystery VN. Great use of the theme!

Well done, an interesting story with an interesting puzzle. Also it was a great decision to allow to pick an outcome of a duel after the intro, otherwise getting the true ending would have been a hassle.

Also it's very interesting to see how picking an outcome of the other duel goes from an unneeded choice to an essential tool.

Thanks a lot for playing !

Among other things, the game narrative is about creating your own luck, so I tried my best to translate this narrative into coherent gameplay feature.

I'm glad you found the game interesting !

After around 25 minutes I got the true ending (though I had to use the solution!)

I was entranced by the world and the mystery the whole way through, it was a thoroughly enjoyable story! You used the theme in a really clever way as a writing prompt. Amazing work, I'd love to see a proofread version of this project reuploaded in the future!

Thanks a lot for playing until the end and your kind comment. I'm glad you liked the game !
