really enjoyed this game and in the middle of my second run!! I enjoyed red strings club and adjacent games (strange horticulture, coffee talk, etc) quite a lot and thus had high hopes that were not dashed. I loved the concept and was very interested in the premise of the game despite a personal dislike for irl tarot lol. I ended up being very satisfied by the story and characters! being able to pick different interpretations for the same situation with different cards and just different readings themselves lends a lot of replayability, as well as there being choices. I would have liked if some choices were less 'locked-in', for instance the romance partner options and some dialogue options meaning something very different than intended, but overall very fun. a lot of twists I did not see coming and was pleasantly surprised. I do agree that the last third of the game is quite different and becomes very political, but to me, the essence of the game was not at all compromised considering you have abundant opportunities to still chat with characters, conduct readings, make choices, etc. excited to see how my different deck and choices change my ending! if the concept of immortal space witches and playing with fate like a puppeteer intrigues you i'd say for sure give it a shot :)
