True Fortune

About

True Fortune is a dating simulator wrapped in a visual novel about fate and memory. You play as a character haunted by recurring dreams of a mysterious friend who left behind a set of enchanted cards. Each card features a boy’s face, and as you navigate school and social life, you’ll meet young men matching those exact likenesses. Choices you make influence relationships, uncovering layers of the protagonist’s past while shaping future connections. The gameplay blends dialogue-driven storytelling with light simulation elements, balancing romantic pursuits with the mystery of the cards’ origins. The game stands out for its bittersweet narrative and the way it ties personal growth to supernatural intrigue. The dream sequences create a moody, introspective tone that contrasts with the lively school setting, offering a quiet emotional core. While its 2008 release date means the visuals feel dated by today’s standards, the character interactions and branching storylines hold up for fans of narrative-driven games. With multiple endings tied to your decisions, it invites replays to explore different paths and uncover the full truth behind the fortune cards.

Storyline

I had a dream. A dream I had many times before. A sad parting dream.... "I'll give you these cards." "Oh, beautiful cards. Thank you." She was my best friend... I was very sad... but I still remember her last words. "Well, when you get older, these cards will be useful. Don't lose them!" "Ok, I'll surely keep them!" An alarm clock rings and I wake up. "Oh, where did I put those cards? Well, maybe here...." They are called True Fortune Cards and each card has a face of a boy. She still doesn't know that the boys she will meet in the near future have the same faces written on the cards...
