Encounter: The Lost Cards (AppID: 3412270)

As fate would have it, you’ve stumbled upon this game. Might as well give it a try. Who knows what you might encounter… ayyy. Get it? Encounter is the name of the game. When I said, “who knows what you might encounter,” it was a play on words.

So, what’s this Tarot thing about? They represent scenarios where you might have to think on your feet, snack on some magical berries, or even get attacked by a [REDACTED]-eating succubus! Fun! But it's not just fate at play—you’ll need to manage your resources wisely, timing your limited actions perfectly as you navigate a labyrinth of twists and turns, and overcome a host of unpredictable events.

Your adventure kicks off with a single crate. What’s inside? Treasure? Trash? A mildly cursed sandwich? Crack it open and find out! From there, anything goes. You’ll encounter oddballs, outlaws, and outright disasters. Duel the friendly neighborhood postman, accidentally infuriate a small child, or face down ambush after ambush—who’s to say? Will you fight, finesse, or just wing it and pray to the RNG gods? Whatever you do, tread carefully—your journey lasts only as long as you do, and the next tavern might be farther than you expect.

In Encounter, Tarot cards shape the events and rewards of your run. Your goal? Gain as much knowledge and wisdom as possible before you go bye-bye.

But here’s the catch—everything is limited. Rare items break, inventory space is tight, and planning ahead is key. Managing your resources is just the start; chaining actions together for devastating combos is where the real strategy comes into play.

If you like roguelikes, inventory management, a touch of deck-building, simple medieval turn-based RPGs with nostalgic pixel graphics, and games called Encounter, then, well… you’ll probably like Encounter!

Life is unpredictable. One moment you’re stacking wins, the next you’re getting drop-kicked by fate. That’s why you should play this game NOW! If you’re reading this, you’re probably the kind of person who overthinks things (lol)—which means you’ll love the deep yet deceptively simple strategy this game offers!

It’s big-brain if you want it to be, yet extremely easy to pick up and play. Either way, your fate is in your hands… potentially.
