This is such a cool concept for an Anamnesis hack. Excited to sit down with it soon.

You are trying to leave your past behind, but there are those who will not let you. Write about what you left, how you you are trying to move on, and what happens when those you betrayed now find you. 

This game is a hack of Anamnesis, and is played over the course of 5 Acts. For the first 3, you will draw 3 cards from the minor arcana deck and answer the following prompt. You also draw 1 major card for each minor card and use it's meaning to help you create your response.

Act 4 has you only draw one prompt to answer and Act 5 has you draw one major arcana card for an open ending to your story. I played as a doctor who was on the run from a mobster called 'Lovely' who ultimately escaped with the help of an estranged sister, and moved out of the country. You can read my playthrough HERE
