    The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is a gem among indie games and one of the best narrative driven games I've played. There wasn't one boring moment in the entire story and I got emotional several times from start to finish. Deconstructeam was simply excellent in everything it tried to with this game.

    Deconstructeam’s five years spent on The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood has resulted in one of the most ingenious games ever made; if you’re into tarot, I know you’ll agree with this assessment. From its aesthetics to its mechanics, from its story to its impact, The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is a one-of-a-kind experience made with love by video game artisans. Don’t let The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood’s understated beauty and vibes fool you — it’s easily in my top 5 games this year and is clear GOTY material, and if you’re ready to ponder the mysteries of a cosmic witch coven, I’m certain it’ll be one of your favorites too.

    Developer Deconstructeam's latest game is a bold experience in which all of the systems manage to beautifully fall into place. It successfully weaves its magic to create something that is rather special and mesmerising, elevated by a unique twist to deck-building and packed with emotion. Fortuna's journey undoubtedly ranks as one of my highlights of the year, and shouldn't be overlooked.

    The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is a delicious narrative adventure, with a great creative input, on how we influence and control our own destiny, with all Deconstructeam's know-how.

    Whether you're truly getting to co-author Fortuna's story isn't always clear, but then divination is an ambiguous practice - and here, a terrifically enjoyable one. [Issue#389, p.121]

    An enchanting, emotionally charged visual novel with a new take on deck-building and tarot divination.

    The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood shows us what women can be when they are free to be who they are, liberated from arbitrary restrictions on their lives. It is a feminist, progressive, intersectional game, one that celebrates women in every form. It made me feel connected to the world around me, and that’s a huge accomplishment.

    The cosmic wheel - Sisterhood is a life altering experience.

    For the past 6 years now, I have been struggling. The transgender question was at the forefront of my mind all this time, asking me wether I am or want or could or should or would.
    This may be the most uplifting story about women I have had the pleasure of experiencing so far.
    I won't spoil much, but there is a transgender character in this story.
    She was accepted, and she didn't have to justify it. No one questioned her, or called it a decision. And after experiencing this, I can say with confidence that I am going to follow my path. I know now, that I should not hold myself back. I should be who I want to be, and not let the discourse around it all make me think and reconsider and question and effectively ruin myself.

    In ten, or twenty years, when someone asks me what the most life-changing thing that happened to me was, I will be able to say with confidence that it was a Night in August of 2023, in a London Hotel while browsing the Nintento e-shop and finding a game about witches.

    I will be a woman, the way I want to be.

    I will be myself.

    And Fortuna and her sisters will be with me.

In general, I give the highest score because in its genre it is non-standard and at the same time one of the best representatives of its genre. P.S.
    Playing interactive literature in fact in interactive literature itself is brilliant!

    I am gonna start off by saying that the Pixel Art and Animations were really well done and that they deserve every praise that they get. TheI am gonna start off by saying that the Pixel Art and Animations were really well done and that they deserve every praise that they get. The story starts off pretty strong and there were some really decent moments and even plot twists that do shake it up in the middle, I was not really a big fan of the ending and the way they sped up the final chapter (it felt very rushed and kinda made the choices that you previously had worthless). I was not fan of the game play either because it was not that easy to understand or not that very well made in terms of card creation and then selecting the cards( not fully sure what the effects of the picked card will be). Overall the game was chill but it had some feminist vibes to it (which did not deflect the story or the message of the game that much) and I can recommend it for a short story with multiple choices. Music was nice! Expand

    The only downside is that being a game that focuses on creating cards, there is very little variety.
    And lgbt issues that cut the thread of the story.

    I played the demo and was pretty hyped.

    The first chapters are also really great, the game has depth, doesn't throw the message in your face, just shows you different fates and I felt deeply touched, but that changed just after half

    Romance felt extremely forced (wtf pacing) and the fun and message lagged behind at a certain point

    after the last chapter i would like to say: why do you have to hate men? why do you have to seem to include everyone?

    at the beginning i really thought this is about the deeper connection between women, that all decisions have meaning, that every fate counts, but in the end i was disappointed how much that was slapped in my face, a pity

    It's exactly what you think it would be: a full-throated anti-woman alphabet nonsense screed posing as a witchy, feminist card creating game.It's exactly what you think it would be: a full-throated anti-woman alphabet nonsense screed posing as a witchy, feminist card creating game. It hates good pacing and decent writing almost as much as it hates men. Unless your hair is purplse, your gender is Star, and you identify as a pansexual unicorn with the pronouns zhe/zhur (and you hate good dialog and deep storytelling), you should probably avoid this.
