Game Mechanics

• Understand the two main mechanics: Card Tests (matching suits) and Skill Tests (matching required ranks).
• Card Tests can be frustrating when you have multiple red cards in your deck but none of them appear in your draw.

Deck Building and Supporter Selection

• Choose your four supporters early to maximize synergy, minimizing the skills you need to train.
• Focus on training only the skills that align with your chosen supporters' preferences.

Game Progression and Strategy

• The difficulty increases gradually. Avoid playing as a generalist if you find yourself struggling with skill requirements.
• Consider managing losses rather than aiming for perfection, which can add to the game's intensity.
• Plan ahead by ensuring you have enough time between events to adjust your skills and deck composition.

Art and Writing

• Appreciate the art direction and stylistic choices in the game, which set it apart from generic 3D renderings.
• Enjoy well-written dialogue options that feel compelling and realistic, even when characters fail.

Save System

• Understand that save scumming is not allowed to enhance the stakes of gameplay.
• Consider multiple playthroughs if you want to explore different outcomes without risking failure.
