Unravel a friend’s disappearance by navigating a dreamlike journey through time and memory hidden within a mysterious tarot deck.

Gameplay

A tarot deck holds the clues to your missing friend’s whereabouts—manipulate cards, hunt for hidden messages, and solve logic puzzles revealing a coming-of-age story told through stunning illustrations. The non-linear structure means piecing together what happened in whatever order feels right, like reading a diary out of sequence and slowly understanding why they ran.
