Tarot
A new computer game is not as innocent as it appears when strange and sinister events start to occur.
This is my second Bitsy game - the first one was for the "Ghost" Bitsy Jam and this one is for the "Tarot" Bitsy Jam.
I wanted to create a simple font in Bitsy with one letter per tile and also had an idea to make a Bitsy game set in a computer where the avatar is the cursor, so I combined the two for this game.
I hope you enjoy it! :)

Amazing creepy game! Cool laptop and computer interface design. The idea of a desktop-focused game with the character as a cursor is ingenious.
P.S.: Death was my favorite story, so delightfully doomy!
I know Bitsy a bit, so I can tell that this is quite amazing. GG.
I loved this lil experience. I think you could create a really cool actual game introducing actual tarot cards in the election and some decisions along the path to make it even more interesting.
However, I still think that this was cool for a 5 min play :P.
I absolutely love this!! such a cool take on the type of games you can create on bitsy :D I'm using bitsy for a school project and I was wondering how you were able to get the cursor to look transparent over everything? the sprite editing capabilities really stumped me in trying to figure out something similar
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I don't think I put any transparency on the cursor, it might just be that there's not much space around the cursor in the sprite so it gives the illusion that it's on top of everything.
Good luck with your project :)
It won't let me move the cursor :c
Use WASD!
thx lol i feel dumb now
no prob I just spammed things until smthn worked
lol
Guys I think my fate has been sealed
Loved it! Got every ending.
It is all about cheating..
I just streamed this and it was so interesting! I really love the ideas in this and it was fun! :)
what a creative format and so fun to play through all the options!! thanks for making :)

Awesome game!!! I really enjoyed how the game changed everything going on in the world around the player! 5/5 stars! :)
that was cute... i liked it
this was such a cute little pass-time and i really enjoyed exploring the different endings. the death was by far the most chaotic and was a personal favourite. i giggled throughout the whole thing. thank you
This is immensely sinister, I like it! My only issue was that moving the cursor was a bit of a chore. All around, a really cool game!
I really loved this! Its really cool to see all the endings and possibilitys!
i cant download it
Thank you! I wanted the player to feel like something bad was going to happen and they have no control over it to intensify the psychological horror, I guess it is quite negative though haha I’ll try and make my next games more positive!
Love the interface! Also really liked how it all got messed with throughout the playthroughs. Interested to see what else you make in the future!
Thank you, pleased you liked it!
love it cool concept
Thanks! :)
Cool concept. The tarot cards did not match up with their traditional meanings in the slightest. There is only one card that is inherently bad: tower. Death implies a permanent change.
If it weren;t so obvious after the first playthrough, I;d be recommending it to ppl. Still interesting though.
Thanks for the feedback :) I'll be honest and say I don't know a lot about tarot cards haha I was just taking them at face value and coming up with scary scenarios based on that, it's good to know that for future though!
There are a lot of sources you could use, because most of them are pretty misleading at face value. Google "major arcana" and you'll be able to find the meanings for all the important tarot cards.
Great experience!!! I really enjoyed!
Good work!
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it!
this was really cool! the first time i played i got death and for a second i thought that every card would have death because spooOOOoooOoOOoOoOooooky but it was actually a really cool + original concept! :D
Thank you, I was tempted to do that initially and just make one really polished one but I went with the variety in the end :)
Like the game, was a bit short though. Nice way to use tarot cards!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm still really new to Bitsy so hopefully my games will get longer as I get more familiar with it :)
aaahhh so cool
Thanks, glad you liked it!
i loved all the different paths, particularly the twist. a very devious idea for a virus!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
I love this idea. I know about sound design, if you want to pair up. I can imagine this as a large game with similar story, but of course more drawn-out to be more entertaining. Your graphics are perfect and all you need is a storyboard and spoopy noises.
Thank you, yeah I made it in a really short space of time (about 3 or 4 evenings) so there's potential to increase the scope of it. I've had a look at your SoundCloud profile and I really like your music and sound design so would definitely be interested in pairing up and hearing your thoughts!
Great! Let me know if you ever need my help, I don't want money or anything. Being a part of something is all I need.
This is a really nice game and I enjoyed it. Hoping to see more games from you haha
Thank you, that’s such nice feedback! Pleased you liked it :)
You're welcome buddy haha
Nice one! I like the interface you created for the computer! good job
Thank you so much, glad you liked it!
