FORBIDDEN SOLITAIRE (2026/1995); it's a cursed 90s FMV card game... but actually a very recent metafictional game about a cursed 90s FMV card game; the solitaire mechanics are great; the story can't really decide whether it wants to be spooky or silly, but that's sort of accurate to the period
I’m in the UK, so I had a chance to visit with @greyalien.bsky.social and @bchezza.bsky.social and go for a walk. The countryside is a bit less green than usual, but we had a lovely time and it was great to catch up!
Went on a walk with a friend from Canada and everywhere is just a sea of sun-blasted brown. All I could say was “it’s not normally like this”
🃏 Played for the Forbidden stayed for the REALLY GOOD SOLITAIRE!! I'm amazed at how they kept the gameplay feeling good and fun and engaging all throughout. The story segments are really nice too, really felt like the team had fun with the details Also, spoiler at 5th image of the carousel~♥♦♠♣
