As an experienced con artist, you can read your customers like open books, from the brands they wear to their micro-expressions. Use this insight to manipulate their fortunes and advice, ensuring they spend as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Story Overview\/Gameplay:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You start the weekend off with a customer seeking a love reading. You pull a <strong>three-card spread<\/strong> that represents the energy of the situation, the action, and the most likely outcome. Each client represents a negative effect of tarot (e.g. addiction, flattery, etc.). You can <strong>examine<\/strong> your client\u2019s appearance: observing their clothes, accessories, and expressions to ensure you make the most of your manipulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inspiration:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cartomante<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Divination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>That&#8217;s not my Neighbour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why this idea:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I thought it was an interesting take on traditional tarot reading games. To my knowledge, not many games, if there are any at all, are in this genre with this perspective. This game idea delves into the very real dangers and <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/2025\/11\/18\/the-dangers-of-using-tarot-cards\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4011\">negative effects of tarot<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Moodboards<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since this idea was about the negative effects of tarot, I thought grungier visuals would match this. I liked the way <em>Danganronpa <\/em>(top left image) did facial expressions and movement &#8211; jerky and puppet-like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1007\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/image.png 1007w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/image-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/image-768x429.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1007px) 100vw, 1007px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below are early notes and very rough sketches of the environment, UI, and a customer for this game idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2339\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/IMG_0988.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4679\" style=\"width:694px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/IMG_0988.jpg 2339w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/IMG_0988-300x63.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/IMG_0988-1024x214.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/IMG_0988-768x161.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/IMG_0988-1536x321.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/IMG_0988-2048x428.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2339px) 100vw, 2339px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1965\" height=\"1230\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/IMG_0989.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4681\" style=\"width:697px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/IMG_0989.jpg 1965w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/IMG_0989-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/IMG_0989-1024x641.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/IMG_0989-768x481.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/IMG_0989-1536x961.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1965px) 100vw, 1965px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview Game Title: Untitled Genre: Point-and-click, 2D, puzzle game Logline: It\u2019s the late 80s, and you\u2019re playing as a fake fortune teller who opened a fortune teller\u2019s tent at the local Halloween festival.
