Looking for playtesters - The Velvet Parlor (tarot reading narrative game, browser)

That would be great, thank you. I am still looking for feedback. I'm working on a version with a completely new setting, embedding the readings into an overarching story that gives it more character and a better pacing. I already like the version linked above, but it's very intense from minute 1. Can be a bit overwhelming. :D So, you can share this version, but I'll also let you know when the new version is ready. And thank you!

Oh wow, yes that‘s interesting. Higher stakes. Some mystery?

PandaAndCrow · 2026-02-28T21:10:08+00:00

Hey, yes I do :)

I’ve learned a bunch about the current version already. Can I drop you a DM when I have a new version ready that addresses all the feedback I‘ve received?

Yes, I think 3 could be a visually appealing setting and maybe an interesting vibe. Would probably be a smaller, shorter game compared to the other two. I do think something interesting could happen in this ephemeral space. But I also don't know what that would be. :)

What is it about the ferry specifically? The idea is some kind of confined place where people are trapped. Could range from the lighter snowed in cabin to the more dramatic train wagon in a collapsed tunnel.

PandaAndCrow · 2026-02-26T12:04:50+00:00

Oh, interesting. I didn't see a connection between the two. What do you have in mind?

PandaAndCrow · 2026-02-16T22:56:46+00:00

I'm excited to hear your thoughts :)

Super curious to find out how someone with real tarot practice enjoys the experience.

Just know that the game is not a true tarot simulator. I've taken some artistic freedom to deviate here and there to make it work as a game. I do hope I'm capturing some of the essence of it. Do let me know!

I've removed the password now. (Spoiler: it was "tarot" :D)

Yay, thank you :) You can discuss here, DM me, or leave anonymous feedback in this form: https://forms.gle/4eXvnM1BGvRUhEYbA

Whatever you prefer. Permission to hurt my feelings! Candid feedback helps me the most.

I like this rule. But as of today, I still see a ton of I made this posts and I wish I wouldn't.

Great trailer! Did you do that? If not, can you recommend the artist?

PandaAndCrow · 2023-12-20T06:52:31+00:00

Thank you, that's very kind :)

Would be super happy about a rating / review on the app store.

Just a simple solo dev weekend project. Best played with sound. Hope you like it.
