The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood

October 29, 2023 9:38 PM

A deeply moving, magical, woman-centric story of revenge set in the outer cosmos. Highly recommend for all who like narrative- and choice-driven games.

There are some heavy topics weaved into the story, and some characters’ lines can be quite sexually explicit, so I wouldn’t recommend this for anyone younger than 14.

For what it’s worth, I played this on the Steam Deck with 0 issues whatsoever.

Any idea how far the demo goes into the game?

And answering my own question, the demo includes the first 4 days, and first flashback. Enough to see the gameplay, but not enough to do anything meaningful. What I saw was interesting, though.

I enjoyed this and will play through it again & make different choices to see how that affects the outcome.

I never felt fully clear on how much combining elements on the cards affected what they meant but I may have missed something there.

The art is really cool and different. It's creepy and weird but not scary. Definitely leaning into more of a cute cosmic horror thing. I like it. I didn't love the pixelated filter on everything, though, but maybe there was a reason for it.

I mostly played it with the sound off but the music is great.

I liked how inclusive it was.

I don't think I would've discovered this game without this post, so thank you! It made me get my Switch back out after too long a time.

I liked this game a lot – along with all the other good things it does, it's tremendously good science fiction. I wrote a review!
