A full-fledged match-3 × roguelike puzzle game. Clear stages to earn beautiful tarot cards and readings as your reward. [A Roguelike Puzzle That Changes Every Time] Just line up three of the same block vertically or horizontally to clear them. No tedious tutorials — anyone can jump right in. The board and goals change every time, and the orb explosions and chain combos born from clearing four or more at once are pure satisfaction. [Carve Your Path with the Power of Tarot] When your gauge fills, three tarot cards appear — choose one to activate it. Over 30 skill effects, from clearing whole rows to explosions and repainting the board, expand your strategy. Which card you draw and where you use it changes how each run unfolds in this roguelike draft system. [Your Reward: Guidance from the Tarot] Clear a stage and a tarot card descends as your reward, letting you read the result for the theme you chose (Love, Work, Study, Relationships, Today's Fortune, or Yes/No). All 78 cards are included — 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana — each with rich, theme-specific text. Enjoy both the thrill of the game and words that stay close to your heart. [A Collection of 78 Cards] Every tarot card you earn is kept in your collection. Admire the illustrations and revisit each card's meaning and keywords anytime. Collect all 78 to unlock a secret menu. [Play Every Day] Every stage can be played once a day for free. You'll receive 30 Gold and 2 Reading Tickets on your first launch, plus a login bonus every day that cycles every 8 days! [Designed for Peace of Mind] No need to enter your name or date of birth to play. Simply hold your worries and wishes in your heart — no one else will ever know.
