The Tarot Reading

Author:Michael Penman
Genres:Fantasy
Surreal
Released:2003
Review:

In this piece, the player moves from room to room, each of which represents a single card randomly selected from a subset of the tarot deck. Some of the rooms are very thoroughly implemented, allowing the player to examine (and to some degree interact with) the figures of the tarot. Others are a bit sketchier.

As is often the case with fortune-telling devices, most of the burden of interpretation is on the player.

Rating: ****
