... Sooo... I’ve discovered the phone game The Arcana, and I’m pretty much in love with it and I’m burning up inside to write a bit about it so, well, here’s a post about it.

This game’s a fantasy visual novel with romance. You’re an apprentice of magician that can tell fortunes with an enchanted tarot deck, and you seem to end up involved in a tricky, intriguing matter. Oh, and with some spooky stuff too.

I’m kinda screaming on the inside, I’ve spent many hours giving it love today and this freaking game has me LIVING.

The aesthetics are beautiful, the narrative is very nice, the music is on point (specially at the spooky parts), the characters are appealing, and the story’s being interesting.

Also, bonus points: you can choose the pronouns to be she/her, he/him AND they/them, AND change them at any point for what it seems.

The game also seems to not have any stamina system, which feels good.

Oh, and there’s an in-game currency that you can earn with a daily spin or paying, and it has some uses (although not obligatory nor essential it seems, which is nice), like unlocking bonus extended scenes as you play. I’ve been playing for only some hours though, so I don’t know how it’ll be/feel later on, but today I burnt almost all of my in-game currency unlocking certain scenes and I’m currently waiting for tomorrow because I’m at a point in which I have an option for a bonus extended scene that I REALLY want to see lol.

Luckily, it seems that there’s a replay system, but for now I don’t know exactly how it works. I recall reading on the game’s FAQ, though, that you could romance all the characters in different routes because the game treats these “branches” like different savefiles, sooo... *sparkly eyes at her fave characters*

There’s as well a mini-game outside of the Story Mode that allows you to get postcards of the characters, too, and the mini-game itself has little interactions between your character and the main cast, or between the main cast itself~

I think I’m gonna go write down my thoughts now that they’re still fresh >3<

(Maybe I’ll write here and/or on Twitter about The Arcana at some point later on, or share screenshots)

Evelyn has been searching for the truth about her father, who has disappeared for a long time, and hopes to find him someday and reunite with him. She decides to ask the player for help after her home was ransacked.Her profile was copied from the official MySims Agents website; it came with spelling and grammar mistakes. A beautiful and mysterious woman evelyn shows up at the agency to give you your first official case. it sounds like a routine robbery at first, but there could be more to this case than she's telling you.

Madison Gray

Madison Gray was supposed to be in MySims Agents (since a dialogue icon was made for her) but was removed for some reason. All that is known about her is that she was meant to be Evelyn Gray's twin sister and Michael Gray's daughter. Nothing else is known about Madison Gray.

Michael Gray

After he attempts to run away, the player attempts to track him down, hoping he might have clues as to where the Crown of Nightmares is in the temple. tracking down Mike and getting the Nightmare Crown, it is revealed that Mike is Evelyn's father. After getting him out of the temple, he will offer to be a potential recruit for the Sim Protection Agency. Mike has a lot of friends. That is, if you count coconuts as friends. He rules over them with a kind, but firm hand. All hail King Mike!

Morcubus

An actor who wants to be seen as scary and mysterious like his colleague Evelyn Gray, but really doesn't have the heart to hurt a fly. Morcubus is a very evil Sim.

Throughout the MySims series, Morcubus serves as a typical resident, a transportation advisor[1], a minigame host, and as a major antagonist. Morcubus is a wicked and sly man. He claims to be the master of darkness and all of the Spooky Sims. Beyond time and space there is a world of black fire. From the heart of this maelstrom of horrors was born the abhorrent Morcubus, prince of monsters, a being who inhales joy and breathes out pure terror! … He's actually a pretty good guy, once you get to know him.

Ginny's parents noticed early on that their little Virginia was different from the other children. While most kids greeted each other by saying 'hello', Ginny would usually scream 'Avast, ye scurvy dogs!' and then bite them on the head. 'A little rambunctious' is how her teachers described her. One day Ginny received a pirate hat and an eye-patch as a gift from her grandmother (who is no longer allowed to bring gifts without asking Ginny's parents first). On that fateful day, Cap'n Ginny was born! Since then Ginny has been seeking fortune and adventure on the high seas of her own imagination. YARRR!!!

Pablo being her only real or close friend. anyone else trying to get close to him makes her anxious. At one point she just started saying he was her boyfriend, and he just went with it!

Interests: Fun, Cute

Dislikes: Studious

Pablo

Pablo likes to play pirate. He is great friends with Cap'n Ginny and naturally plays pirate with her. He often stutters when he talks.

"I wonder if you could make a ship out of blocks and essences and could sail it around the ocean! Probably not, but it would be really neat, huh?"

Interests: Fun, Geeky

The Pancakes

Bob and Eliza... Eliza and Bob... Have you heard the recent gossip? Or okay, maybe not so recent any longer- but! It is gossip non the less. So I heard-

Bob Pancakes and Eliza Pancakes (née Hastings) had been working for the same Tv-network-production company for years, each on their separate shows, separate sets, yet not separate colleagues. Not entirely, anyway.

A Cooking Show and Pancakes with Bob (now known as Pancakes with the Pancakes) were two separate shows produced by the same network (owned by the Lando family), but someone couldn't do a proper budget plan a the company were facing major economical issues - they had to cut out some shows, or else, smash them together.

Eliza was opposed to the idea at first, but the promise of promotion and convincing from a few friends made her reconsider. Shy Bob and fiery Eliza became good friends as Eliza realised it wasn't Bob's fault she lost her show and Bob realised that Eliza really wasn't too scary once you got to know her.

Tut, tut, tut; that they thought they would continue their lives as normal after this change! Expectations of love between the two circled not only the in the public media, but in the staff room too! These rumours pressed them to get closer to each other than either had wished.

It can be hard to see the difference between loving someone and being in love, am I right? As if the looks from the public and your colleagues wasn't enough, your boss starts to see it as a business opportunity; a way to promote the show! This should summarise into a beautiful marriage, should it not?

For oh yes, they did marry eventually, making the colleagues content with their match-making abilities and filling the Lando's wallets. Don't they look a happy couple! And that little baby who sometimes features in the show! Aren't they just the cutest couple on telly?

Poor, poor Bob is used to being content with what he gets having grown up the youngest in a big family. Further more, Eliza is someone he loves! But he's having a hard time navigating their friendship without being reminded of the wedding ring.

Poor, poor Eliza don't see what's making their relationship so rocky still after all these years. Eliza knows that she loves Bob, but living with him? Bah! She feels limited, a feeling she isn't used to given her single child-childhood of many travels around the world...

Could Bob and Eliza have gotten closer had the framework of a marriage not been there, pressing in on all sides? What happens to little baby Iggy should they go separate ways?
