Cartas de Coisas

About

Cartas de Coisas blends card collection with surreal simulation. You gather cards featuring animals, pop culture references, and fictional characters through a gacha-style mechanic. These cards boost your Fighting Power, used to battle alien waves in a setting called the Liturgy. Each new Gate you open unlocks a disjointed story fragment, piecing together the game's cryptic world layer by layer. The single-player experience leans into its quirky, absurdist tone while mixing resource management with oddball aesthetics. The game stands out for its meta self-awareness and dry humor. Its fragmented narratives and bizarre lore about "Agony" create an unsettling undercurrent, contrasting with the mundane act of card grinding. Set for PC and web release in late 2024, it's a niche pick for those into weird narratives and lightweight strategy. Developer Jogo Joia keeps the focus on its peculiar charm over polish, making it a curiosity more than a deep dive.
