Hey folks 
So we've just pushed our next prototype live. 
The Arcana Murders. 

Its a text-based RPG with a lil' twist - playing cards instead of rolling dice for your skill checks. 

A little bit about the game: 

As one of the few survivors of the mysterious Tarotmancer initiative, you have the unique ability to use your cards to invoke hidden powers to pass (or fail!) skill checks that will lead you down a dark path as you search for your sister, abducted by a fully demonic organisation.

Your unique connection to the Tarot also allows you to form Pacts with the strange and dangerous New Arcana living in the city on the edges of society.

If you can find and convince them,  they'll lend you their powers — but always with their own (possibly murderous) agenda...

You can find the project itself over here

With this title, we're continuing to explore narrative design, as well as some of the vibe and themes in our previous title Demonbane Detective. 

We've also started digging into a little bit of TTRPG design elements, inspired by some other titles we love. 

Again for the sake of speed, we've used AI art to fill in the gaps - but our intent is to replace all that if this game ever gets to any sort of production phase. 

Hopefully ya'll will enjoy playing this one. As with all of our prototype projects, we welcome any and all feedback! 

Thanks
