The very first thing that caught my eye when it comes to this game was the incredible layout work, but as I read it I realized that was only the tip of the iceberg. The tone and narrative of the game are not only captivating, but they also fit the overall themes of it in a way that makes the whole thing stand out.
I love the use of the tarots for intuitive storytelling! Not focusing too much on the standard meanings of the cards but letting your guts guide you is incidentally how I was introduced to tarot readings, so to see it reflected in your game as a narrative tool was quite the treat for me. My only issue is that maybe the font could be a bit larger (I could feel the strain reading after a while), but overall great work for sure.
