NeoCrystal Elegy is a beautifully laid out game based upon the Anamnesis system by Sam Leigh. You traverse the barren pink covered city on a planet that has been laid to waste by the crystal salt. Explore the area, search for your goal, relive the memories of others and avoid the oncoming storm.
Over the course of 5 phases you explore the city, reach your goal, and see if you can return alive. For the first 4 phases you draw 3 minor arcana, each for a prompt, and 3 major arcana as a mood/tone setter for the prompts.
These prompts will encourage you to relive the memory of someone who has passed for just a brief snapshot in relation to how your main character sees or experiences something in the crystal wastes.
In the fifth phase you draw one single major arcana card to represent how the story ends.
During my playthrough I went searching for a set of books deep in a library, got stabbed by a crystal and ended up not being able to bring back the books.
Extremely cool game! I played a dashing space pilot wanting to find some peace, who hoped to find some in a library she once went to. The library was crumbled and each book covered in pink cristals, but she found some at the end.
