Interesting game. The music was nice and didn’t feel repetitive. Graphic style of the cards was a nice touch.

\n

I didn’t understand what determined if the card faded or shone. I understood which of the 4 icons would be affected, but just not which direction the change would apply. A lot of the actions also affected the same icon, so swiping left or right didn’t matter a lot of times.

Quirky little experience. I wasn’t really sure I was in control of my destiny, but i guess i still got married and rich so I must have done something right! Nice graphics and lovely music and sound effects.

Interesting idea, but the rules are confusing.

I think I understand the rules; I’m making decisions based on if I believe the superstitions or not and finding out if they impact me. I imagine there are scores for each card and the decision I make.

\n

I managed to get rid of “13” on day 5; played through several times; 14 days was my longest run.

I got married on day 20! :D Must have been my lucky day ;)

\n

Quite a creative interpretation of the theme! I really liked it! Well done!

37 days at maximum :)\nHuge inspiration of “Reigns” I supposed (my game “Tindeath” 2 years ago was half inspired by this game too)\nCool music and game feel!

Decisions, decisions. Luck seems a bit random.

\n

More of a curiosity than a game. Gfx could be improved, audio is nice.

After playing it a couple times, I think I finally “get” it (albeit I don’t fully understand all the logic underneath), and I have to say that I quite like it. It’s a very creative approach to the theme and it feels interesting to “play”. I wish to see more games like this! :)

Well done!

\n

I think you’ve mastered very well the introduction to the game!\nMusic coming as soon as you swipe is great.\nThe art is simple yet effective.

\n

I’m not sure I really understood how the game works, but ended up winning the lottery :)

Sweet little game

\n

Easy to pick up, but I was confused as to which way to swipe indicated which choice?

\n

The music was fun and graphics were well done

\n

Got married on day 18

the different choices form a lovely poem and took me on a mental adventure that I really appreciated! it made me feel thoughtful and wistful. afer a while i started to feel like I was swiping opposite to my intention, since the touch starts on the thing you do not want, and it raises upward and almost seems to overtake the yes option, which folds away downwards. I could see this being intentional, a way for us to suddenly question our entire life decisions, or a clarity issue that could be removed with more visual feedback confirming which option you just chose. by the end, I was completely unsure about everything!!!! which is a good thing. wonderful work.

Fantastic moody music, perfect graphics, fun interactions, this game is brilliant!

\n

I did several runs on pure role-playing (without looking at the aspects) and it’s just so satisfying to lead the character somewhere.

\n

Great work!

For the first time, I think I received some kind of curse :).

\n

Married on the 9th day.

\n

Won the lottery on the 24th and 20th day.

\n

Retired on day 16.

\n

I liked that the game has a help where you can familiarize yourself with the main points.

\n

I also like the idea itself, as well as its implementation. Everything is quite atmospheric. Good job!

\n

I also like music, but would like to have an option to turn it on/off.

\n

Perhaps certain animations that would be played upon receiving the result would add more coolness to the visual part, although here you have to think about how you can beat it while respecting the existing style :). Maybe a black cat that walks all over the screen - it would be very cool in my opinion :).

\n

Nice game, it was fun, congratulations!

This was really fun, I love that you took the Reigns-style swiping and factors system and pivoted it to the theme so well. It would have been nice to have keyboard inputs for the swiping, but not necessary.
