Core Concept

a deckbuilding game where the player has a series of "converstations" with a persistent NPC (The Child) whose deck grows as they learn from these "conversations".

Traveling scene (Where you start)

The player plays cards to Road Events to create obstacles and opportunities for the Child. 

After the player plays all the cards in their hand, the NPC will choose a destination from the different locations on the map. 

• If the Child passes a placed card, they will check the card's suit, value and attributes (body, mind, spirit) against the cards in their hand (hand info not visible to Player ATM). 
  • If they surpass the obstacle, they gather the card and continue to their destination.
  • If they fail, the previously placed cards are discarded and the Child stops at this point. The cards previously played on the other road events are cleared and the Player draws a new hand of cards and repeats turn.
    • known bug: The player can replay a card at the same event as the previous turn, but it will not engage again during the current turn.

When the Child reaches their intended destination, they will start a conversation with a randomly generated character according to the specifications of the location.

NOTE: Clicking on a Location during the "card play phase" will display a print.log of the charactaristics (Personality and Identity) of the character at the given Location

Conversation Scene

Placing cards in suit groups and repeating numbers to influence which card the Child will learn at the end.

• Suit Groups: Increases likelyhood that the Child will learn one of the cards from the group.
• Repeated Numbers: Adds to Vibes of the convo (WIP metric) and has player draw a new card.

Game ends after 5th Round or if the Player or Child have no cards in their hand.

NOTE: A lot of the UI in the conversation scene is broken, this is top priority for the next update. The Suit Groups and Current Round UI is functioning correctly, which is the most important at the moment.
