Love Is In the Cards
A downloadable game
Care for a love reading?
Five girls in a vibrant farming community visit you, a travelling fortune teller, to find out what their luck in love will be, but there's more magic than just seeing the future in your cards. Use them to arrange dates, cast spells, and irrevocably change the fortunes of Violet, Bramble, Maple, Willow, and Soozey. In just the ten short days that you're in town, pull the strings and bind these lovestruck girls together so tightly that they'll be together forever. When you're the one stacking the deck, love is always in the cards.
To match, drop a card onto the date socket to begin matching. A girl's love increases based on how many tags (the icons on the top of the cards) match their likes (at the bottom of the card, listed on the tooltip UI when the card is held). Score is calculated with the max of each two girls' love for each other. Girls are exhausted when used on a date, and refresh in the morning.
Spells have their own cast socket you can drop them into, and notably don't activate their abilities during dates (but DO contribute to tags for love).
Click on the book to check your score.
Visual novel scenes are unlocked to view by clicking on crystal ball with certain date combinations, if they're a spotlight on the crystal ball you've unlocked one! Here's one to start out:

It took me a little while ot figure out the way to play and unlock scenes even with the explanation in the game page, thought that may be because I'm not too familiar with these kinda card games. Still, when I unlocked the Violet+Bramble one I had a grand time with them in the visual novel format. I feel like a future tutorial would help, but everything else was pretty neat. I'm gonna try to get some of the other combinations, but just from the one scene I played through I liked the writing and the way you wrote the chemistry between these two gals :P it's good yuri!!
I appreciate the feedback, and I'm glad you liked what you were able to see of the game!! A tutorial's definitely in the works, I just wasn't able to get it in by the jam deadline. I'm really happy with the design, art, and writing the team did for this game, so I hope to be able to make them shine soon
