I am a really big fan of Arcana of the Tarot so I was pretty excited about this game despite the fact I took so long to actually try it. In the end though I didn't get into it as much as I hoped for a few main reasons.
To start with the good stuff the high quality trap gameplay that borders on trigger needle you would expect from this duo is here and it's mostly great. I think the first third or so of the game leading up to the first boss is exactly what I hoped for from a game like this and it delivers. Likewise the final stage is that great, over the top, reference heavy stuff that made the final stage of Arcana something special. These elements of the game are the stuff I can really appreciate and I have nothing bad to say about them. I especially found the factory stage where you go back and forth a bunch to be really novel.
Unfortunately sandwiched between these two stage portions is the casino stage which really rubs me the wrong way. To start the gameplay just felt lacking. The progression of the area is neat with collecting items but the traps rarely stood out and the saves go by so quick. This style of game is one where every save gives you something new to bite into and figure out and this stage was lacking that hard. It's the kind of trap gameplay that goes by without leaving an impression to me. There's also the use of generative AI which is bad. Gen AI is a horrible thing and seeing it in a creative work disappoints me to no end. It makes it hard to appreciate the other visuals in the game as much because the use of it undermines the very expressive and human process of making art, and visuals are included in the artworks we know as fangames. It doesn't help that the Casino stage looks really bad, it's just so ugly in my opinion and in a way I've never really felt before in a fangame. It really feels like a big stain on this game.
The bosses also didn't really impress me unfortunately. Unfortunately the nature of the game makes it too easy to compare to Arcana which has some really strong bosses, but even on their own the bosses in this game were pretty weak. The first one is kinda cool but doesn't leave much of an impression, the second boss has the same kinda gross feeling the rest of the casino stage has and very little of interest happens, and while the final boss has a lot of cool ideas I think the attack design is sorely lacking in the first four attacks, which will make up most of your playtime with the fight. The earth attack is neat, but the other 3 bored me and made it annoying to die basically anywhere in the fight. It's the kind of thing I want to like but it's just not for me.
Overall I was pretty disappointed with this game, especially with the praise it gets, but that praise indicates my opinion is far from the common one and if you like Arcana, it's still worth a shot. Despite my gripes I still think the good elements are enough to leave a pretty nice impression and leave me satisfied with the game overall.

Very challengeable adventure game.
The design of some traps is very good and unique, and it is very interesting to find special solutions.
However, it is a bit too difficult. For beginners, the solution may not even be apparent in many places. It is recommended to all players who like adventure games and have a certain foundation in jumping and stabbing.
