A lantern lit among memories. And a deck of cards whispering riddles.
The Light in the Mist isn't a game. It's a journey. A story that opens in your hands like a forgotten diary, where every card is a fragment of the past, every puzzle a hidden key. Your friend has disappeared. And all you have to find her is a mysterious tarot deck , full of secrets and stories buried in the mist.
This narrative and investigative board game for 1-4 players combines the allure of tarot with the intensity of logical and linguistic puzzles. Every card, every symbol, every fragment of text in the booklet is part of a vast mosaic to be pieced together. You can play it alone or with a small group , sharing intuition, emotion, and a sense of discovery.
Because The Light in the Mist isn't played… it's walked through
- 🔮 Tarot as a work of art : 78 illustrated cards that are narrative, puzzle and symbolism
- 🧩 Deep and varied puzzles : logical, visual, textual and narrative puzzles in a non-linear structure
- 📖 Personal and touching story : a tale of growth, loss and memory that engages you emotionally
- 🎭 Modular experience : tackle one puzzle at a time, or immerse yourself in long, immersive sessions
- 👁️ Perfect for those looking for a deep solitaire game , but also to enjoy together in silent collaboration
If you're looking for a narrative board game, steeped in mystery and immersed in a unique atmosphere , The Light in the Mist will gently and uneasily guide you through memories we thought were lost . But not everyone will find the light. Some will be lost in the mist.
A deck. A lost friend. A puzzle that speaks to the heart... and challenges the mind.
Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Explore the deck as if it were an interactive diary
The game comes in the form of a deck of cards divided into suits like a tarot deck. Each card represents a location, a puzzle, or a part of the story to be uncovered. There is no board: everything unfolds between the cards and the narrative booklet.
2. Solve puzzles to advance the story
Each card/location presents a different puzzle, to be solved using logic, intuition, and sometimes connections between multiple cards. The puzzles are varied and creative: words, numbers, symbols, images...
3. Decide where to go and which cards to activate
The deck is structured to give you freedom to choose your own path: you can explore various locations in a non-linear order, making each game unique. The goal is to discover what happened to your missing friend.
4. Each unlocked puzzle reveals new parts of the story
After solving certain puzzles, you'll receive codes or clues that lead you to other cards in the deck. Some cards allow you to "move forward in time" or see the world from new perspectives, furthering the narrative.
5. Live a cooperative or solo experience
You can play the game alone or with others. The goal isn't just to "win," but to immerse yourself in the story , gather clues, uncover emotional details, and—piece by piece—reconstruct the central mystery.
