About the game

The second game in the unique Voice of Cards series, where all elements are presented entirely through the medium of cards, in the tradition of tabletop RPGs and gamebooks.
Description from the Steam store page.
Minimum specs

Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory, AMD Radeon R7 260X / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 (VRAM 2GB), 5 GB of storage. Windows only.

The value story

It has been discounted 26 times in the 5 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 60 percent, about 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 84 percent. Deck of Ashes ($19.99, scores 28) outscores it, and so does Knock on the Coffin Lid ($24.99, scores 58). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

Besides those, everything added is a downgrade and it holds the game down compared to the first one. It feels like the changes haven't really been thought through fully: - you have more party members...

seeing reviews mixed for this one had me a bit apprehensive, but i still think it's in line with the first game, even if it opts for a different format (island hopping between tales vs a more structured chapter-by-chapter tale) more about the journey than the destination unlike the first game. that said, a couple things irritated me : your 3rd permanent party member is largely useless, and the encounter rate feels...
blueRecommendedafter 26hJan 2026Read on Steam
If this game was first of the serie it would have better reviews and more people would play it. The game is second in the serie, but not related to the first one. You can play it seperately or in order, there's only one minor connection showing that this game is prequel to the first one. The game start that with you leaving in doomed village, without a Maiden it will collapse and everyone in it will die. You not...
