I played this game like 2 years ago and I'm still looking to find another game that has its exact ratio of super interesting theme/concept/setting, great story and characters, unique and somewhat challenging gameplay, and gorgeous art. I've never played a game quite like this but I desperately wish to play another one. It was also really educational in the best way! I'm bummed I've never heard anyone talk about this except for the single twitter thread that I heard about this from, because imo it deserves a lot more chatter. Play this if you like when a game has a satisfying story and doesn't take one million years.

Great, but be cautioned if you have ADHD This is one of those games where you must memorize and develop your skills with all the various card tricks, which means it's daunting to get back into if you stop playing it for a week or two. It's best to sit down and just keep playing it multiple times a week until it's done. If that sounds like too much of a commitment and you prefer to pick up and forget about games as you please, you might not get the full enjoyment out of this.

90% of this game for me took place in a carriage where I practiced the same card trick until I could do it perfectly. It's like a skill practicing game. Shuffle the deck, offset the card, deal in the right order, palm one of the cards. It's memorizing and perfecting a procedure to accomplish a trick with such consistency that when the key moment comes, you're ready. There's few games quite like it.

Delightful little game with great music, real card tricks/cheats, and a surprisingly good story. At 8ish hrs, it's short (which may be a price-point issue for some), but I feel like it's just right; it doesn't overstay its welcome. Only gripe is that despite being a game with a "rewind" feature, scenes cannot be skipped. Otherwise, highly recommended.

will this game make your head hurt? yes. is it EXTREMELY satisfying to get right? also yes. 10/10 would steal from rich people again
