Description
About This Game
Cosmic Séance is a game about interpreting the visions of cosmic gods who don't lie, but don't speak plainly either. You are the Medium. You ask. They answer in visions. You arrange them on your board, interpret them, and decide what they mean. And every vision you see drags you one step closer to madness.
Key features:
Talk to cosmic entities: Summon beings that do not lie, but do not give direct answers either. Interpret their visions to piece together the truth.
Sanity system as a limited resource: Every question brings you closer to madness. If your sanity reaches zero, the abyss consumes you.
Vision board: Organize visions like cards on your board. Drag them, interpret them, and place them into the answer slots.
Around 30 séances: A complete story you can finish in a weekend. A dying realm, a young queen, and only your mind against the abyss.
No jump scares or fast-paced action: A game for those who enjoy reading between the lines and managing scarce resources.
Echoes in real history: A southern kingdom stripped of its resources, its lands sold off, its rulers traitors to their own. Uncomfortably familiar? History has a sick sense of humor. So do we.
