Tarot Awakening

THIS GAME DOES NOT DISCLOSE THAT IT USES AI!!! The voices used in this game are made with generative AI but this (as of writing this review) is not disclosed on the Steam page. This is a direct violation of Steam's TOS. As for the rest of the game, it runs very poorly for a simple tarot reading application. It also opens up a terminal and launches Webview in the background. These are apparently vital to the game running, as if you force close either, the game also closes. Because the voices are AI generated, they often "speak" over themselves, and the dialogue sounds stunted or strange. I'd much prefer if there were just subtitles or even if there was poorly done voice acting. The performance issues and the use of AI are really unfortunate because this is one of the better applications out there for learning tarot. It provides fun and interesting ways to learn the cards, as well as learning spreads. It provides a good resource to practice readings, and even has a built in journal so you can track thoughts on your readings. I like the game for what it is, but they NEED to fix the problems and PLEASE get rid of the AI voices.

Tarot Awakening is exactly what I needed to get excited with Tarot cards again. I am definitely rusty but Tarot Awakening is making my learning interesting, challenging and fun. I can spend hours on this game and will be just to get myself back up to speed to be the Tarot reader I use to be. This is great for those who are experienced Tarot readers, just learning Tarot or like myself need a refresher. I have never seen a Tarot game like this I will definitely recommend to my Tarot group.

It's unfortunate because I've enjoyed some aspects of this program and used it quite a bit but the best I can call it is "incomplete/partially working."

my girlfriend loves the game

Great new way of learning Tarot. I like the music, the vibe of the project/game, the mystic setting. The only thing I for now think I would love to be changed is to remove the delay before you can flip the card again. Except for that I think I just realised that my path is to just read the cards intutively. Not school book style learning where you program yourself to think Y when you look at the card, but instead just read the card as you want to read it. Maybe im wrong but I have done it before with success so maybe thats my way. I do many other things by divine guidance already so it is no huge surprise it maybe is going to be the same way with the cards. Keep up the good work with the beautiful project! May the higher powers bless this game.
