Ehhhhh. its ok. Interesting premise and art but I was wanting a bit more out of the game. Maybe actually getting to be a card shark playing poker sometimes instead of just learning card tricks but not really getting to see the context.
Actually having to time out your cheats during a game of poker would have been fun. I guess I was just expecting more
6/10

This is such a neat game. I really want to rate this higher, but multiple crashes in the last 1/4 of the game, combined with sometimes finicky controls (at least on Switch) for some of the mini-game "tricks," took some of the fun out of it for me. I do recommending giving this game a try.

A lovely game about cheating at cards. I think personally this game excels at everything it's trying to do and everything it's trying to do is absolutely my shit. The art is beautiful and makes it a treat to go to new areas and meet new characters. Another reason it's such a treat to meet new characters is the games writing, I found every character in the game to be compelling to play with. Whether it be a funny encounter with 3 people who have more money then they know what to do with it, or it being a casual game of cards with a young man down on his luck that eventually brings him to ruining his life. I won't say much on the story itself other then that I think it's a very compelling mystery. As for the gameplay itself I think it's pretty good both in it actually being pretty fun and a proper challenge as it goes on. Now overall I feel this game was absolutely amazing and you should play it if you want a very compelling story about deceit and betrayal with some WarioWare style minigames about cheating with cards attached.
PS: the only reason why I'm not giving this game a perfect score is that for some reason I started having a bug happen where it would read A button inputs before pressed even before I did anything which caused me to fail a minigame once or twice
