Tarot Uranai

About

Tarot Uranai is a card game where you interpret symbolic imagery to deliver readings. Each session uses a deck shaped by surreal, hand-drawn art reminiscent of esoteric traditions. The 3DO version layers full-motion video sequences between draws, blending ritualistic flair with rudimentary interactive choices. Gameplay revolves around selecting cards and matching them to vague questions, with outcomes dictated more by aesthetic mood than structured mechanics. The game’s visual style stands out as its strongest feature, drawing clear inspiration from the geometric mysticism of mid-20th century tarot design. While its 1995 release date and 3DO platform make it a niche artifact, it remains a curiosity for collectors of experimental FMV projects. Community archives note its obscure status but praise the eerie atmosphere, with some calling it “a forgotten relic of VHS-era occult gaming.”
