Hey! You can use a regular deck of cards for most of the normal prompts, but the characters you’ll meet are all named after the major arcana. That said, there’s nothing stopping you from making your own custom deck of cards (or using the online tabletop offering that’s included with the game) if you’d rather not use a tarot deck.

The older versions will continue to be available, yes :)

Hey! The card version is a reworking of this one—a brand new game with similar goals and influences. When the new game launches, I’ll be adding all the new files to this existing listing, so everyone will get a free upgrade.

Hey, I can definitely add the cards to the digital version, I’ll add it to my to-do list. Physical copies will be available again sometime in the future, there’s a link to my newsletter at the top of the page :)

Do you mean when someone donates one? It’s not an automated system, so I have to go in every now and again to update the numbers :)

Lots of bigger retailers will claim a release date based on no real evidence! I have had no conversations with retailers about a reprint, they’re just guessing.

I’d be wary of this—there’s no stock in the UK so unlikely they’ll be able to fulfil any time soon.

Apologies for the delay, this one slipped off my radar! Uploaded now :)

Hello! You can preorder the new version here, but it won’t be out until later in 2026 :)

Hey! It’s not currently available, but you can preorder the new edition here: https://counterpart.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders/706278

Ahh thanks for leaving a comment, so nice to hear :)

likely not until late 2026.

Absolutely, drop me an email (jack at mousehole dot press) and I’ll sort it out :)

If you head here: https://koriko.backerkit.com/ you can access your Survey which has all of your digital downloads on it :)

Likely not till late 2026!

Hey! It’s unfortunately out-of-print as far as I’m aware!

Have you ‘joined the game’? You won’t be able to interact with the board until you have :)

Hey! I’m all out of stock currently, but would love to attend Essen in a future year :)

Thanks, J

I’m sure it will be back in stock eventually, we have stock in the US still. Just expensive to move it around!

The new card-based version is available for preorder (https://counterpart.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders), but I won’t have any more of the books!

Every now and then I find an old copy in the crevices of my office, but I tend to keep them for conventions. Haven’t found any for a while, though!

Hey! I think this would probably be fine. I did a fair bit of checking when I was designing the game to make sure all the options and prompt lists worked out, and there’s a lot of tolerance built in anyway to account for people skipping prompts they don’t like. In short—if you think it fits and would be fun, I think it’s a great idea!

Hey, scroll down a little from the ‘Buy Now’ button and you should find the ‘Community Copy’ section :)

Thanks for the lovely review! Notorious is actually by my friend Jason, though I did the layout :)

Hey! I don’t have any stock left in the UK, but there’s plenty in the US. I’ll set up international shipping from there soon—if you sign up to my mailing list you can get updates!

Hey! The existing content will be moved in an archive zip (still downloadable here) and the new content will be added (free of charge) :)

Hey! Lovely to hear you found the book in the wild :)

There’s no way to purchase the deck & dice separately at the moment, but when I do a reprint I’ll be offering a small number of upgrade kits for folks who want to add them to their book. Best bet is to subscribe to my newsletter :)

Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for sharing your play experience, I’m so happy to hear it’s landed well with you. I love a bare-bones solo RPG (Alone in the Ancient City was my first and still one of my favourite!), but I really think the extra structure and support in Koriko has been worth the effort :)

Cheers!

You’re very welcome! And yes, my time with P5 was a big impact on the confidants, of course. Thanks for playing!

Hey Sharang! Thanks so much for your lovely words! I’ve always enjoyed reading your (often sexy!) content.

The rhymes took so much of my time (and soul 💀) but now they’re done I’m very happy I persevered… J

I really appreciate the intention Ancora, but don’t stress about it! Maybe follow my newsletter if you like, and if you’re in a better financial position in the future you might back one of my projects :)

Hope you have a wonderful time with the game! J

Ahh thanks so much, what a lovely review. I’m glad it’s all hitting in the ways I intended 😊

Yep! https://srd.mousehole.press/

Not at the moment, I haven’t had any luck with a retailer over there yet!

Yep!

Not yet! It’s a work-in-progress, will be added here when it’s done :)

Yep! There will be more available soon :)

Hey! That’s so cool, I hope you have a lovely time together ☺️

When I eventually do a reprint of Koriko, I plan to do a limited run of ‘upgrade kits’ for those with books. Probably won’t be for a while, make sure you’re signed up to my newsletter!
