Happy birthday to Cultist Sim, and have a lovely weekend, everyone! Stay culty, stay classy, stay cool.I've just played the lady afterwards yesterday with some friends. 😅 But it’ll be sometime this year! Sign up to the mailing list for news, and/or keep your culty eyes peeled here for news. We can’t specify a release date yet, because it turns out making a tarot deck from scratch is a lot of work. The new images also suit the abbey-like stained-glass aesthetic, which you’ll see more of in BOOK OF HOURS. These differences are deliberate, and we hope it’ll shed some more lore-y light on things. For example, here’s Justice / The Meniscate from both decks: You’ll notice that the art style as well as the depiction of the Hours in The Lucid Tarot is sometimes quite different from their original depictions. They’re a syncretic pantheon, like the loa of Haitian Vodou or the weirder Greco-Roman deities, and they change over time to reflect the current world. The Hours have been around for centuries in every History. People seemed to get excited about it when we teased it last time, so the cards above are all never-before-seen, to whet your appetite! The deck features new, custom-made art of the Hours and Cultist Simulator cards that draws on existing lore but follows traditional systems like the Rider-Waite much more closely than the Hours deck did. This means light (candlelight moonlight King Crucible) shines through some parts of each card, but they have an opaque back so you can’t see the image on the other side. This time it’s a world-first: we’re making a stained-glass-window-inspired deck, opaquely printed on transparent PVC.
We announced we’re making a second tarot deck, after The Tarot of the Hours proved so popular. BUT IT WILL BE A NICE SATISFYING NUMBER OKAY. *Yes, this does mean I haven’t finalised the actual final number of findables in-game.
Now we can talk about this, we’ll have a lot more to share in future updates. Sign up to the mailing list to keep up to date. We expect to release the game in October, in time for Halloween - but we’ll confirm a release date later down the line. We’re making just a hundred copies to start with, though we’ll expand the limited run if we see enough interest. The Lady Afterwards comes in a custom-built 1920s-styled recyclable box mailed directly to your door. It’ll likely look a smidge different in the flesh.
