Deconstructeam has announced the release date for its highly anticipated game, “The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood.” The divination-based game is set to launch on August 16th and will be available for PC and Nintendo Switch. To give fans a taste of what to expect, a new launch trailer has been released, showcasing the game’s tarot deck building and weighty decision-making.
In “The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood,” players take on the role of Fortuna, a witch who has been imprisoned on a remote asteroid for 1,000 years. The protagonist finds herself locked away after foretelling a prediction of doom that did not sit well with those in power. Although the game primarily takes place 200 years into Fortuna’s sentence, players will also have the opportunity to experience flashbacks that shed light on her life before exile.
Despite the isolation, Fortuna’s time on the asteroid is far from lonely. She is accompanied by Ábramar, a god summoned by Fortuna to aid in her escape and seek revenge on the coven responsible for her imprisonment. Additionally, Fortuna’s solitude is frequently interrupted by a surprising number of visitors, providing a unique twist to her isolation on the space rock.
“The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood” is the latest project from Deconstructeam, following the success of their previous games, “Gods Will Be Watching” and “The Red Strings Club.” Like its predecessors, the game delves into philosophical and narrative experiences set in dystopian environments. The gameplay largely revolves around player choices, with branching narratives and dialogue trees playing a significant role. Furthermore, players can create and customize their tarot decks, adding a personal touch to their magical repertoire. The game’s pixel art style expertly showcases the intricacies of the tarot cards, allowing players to truly make the deck their own. However, players can also opt for a simpler playthrough if they prefer a more straightforward experience.
“The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood” will be priced at $18 upon release for the Nintendo Switch and PC platforms. Pre-orders are currently available on Steam, and interested players can also wishlist the game on GOG. It is worth noting that the Nintendo Switch product listing has not been published at the time of writing.
