Developer Deconstructeam Publisher Devolver Digital Format PC (tested), Switch Release Out now
As humans, we’re naturally invested in the search for deeper meaning. For many of us, that inclination became especially potent during the pandemic – and, given extra time and space, our imaginations ran wilder than usual. There is, then, something cathartic about Deconstructeam’s latest. Cast into exile after her dire prognostications created discord among her coven, lonely witch Fortuna summons a Behemoth for company; together they create a new deck for divination, more flexible and potent than the tarot cards with which she’s more acquainted. As such, it feels as if you’re learning the art alongside Fortuna. Context and instinct are key, you’re told, in interpreting messages from the cards you’ve designed yourself, from a mix of cosmic symbols, spheres and arcana. How much the available readings are determined by the choices you’ve already made is harder to divine.
