Your friend’s mysterious disappearance results in the discovery of an unusual item, leading you to embark on a journey through time and memory. In this narrative puzzle adventure by PostCurious and Jack Fallows, an intimate coming-of-age story is told through an object that serves as a tarot deck, a puzzle game, and a work of art. You will need to manipulate cards, find hidden messages, and solve logic and word problems in order to uncover the deck’s secrets.
Packed with gorgeous illustrations, resonant storytelling, and unique puzzles, The Light in the Mist can be played solo or cooperatively in a small group. It’s non-linear structure and varied puzzle difficulty will engage players of all experience levels with over five hours of gameplay. Do you have what it takes to overcome the challenges thrown your way without getting lost in the mist?
Some puzzles can solve to multiple answers, with each solution connected to a different story passage. You can choose whether to derive just one answer per puzzle or try to solve for all possible answers and gain additional pieces of the narrative.
The puzzles vary in difficulty; some are simple and others take multiple steps. If you get stuck on a puzzle, don’t worry! You’ll have a detailed online hinting system at your disposal should you need a nudge in the right direction.
The puzzles are modular. You can sit down for several hours and dive deep into the game or just solve one card at a time with your morning coffee. You can also choose to split up puzzles between your teammates or all work together on each challenge.
No knowledge of tarot and no outside resources are required to play. Accessing the hint system will require use of the internet, but aside from that, all you need is a pencil and paper.
The included booklet also contains a "Reading the Tarot" section in the back, with information about card meanings and tarot spreads for those who wish to learn more and continue their tarot journey.
