Prakasha
Made for The Worst Game Jam 2025, Prakasha is a choose your own adventure game where you use a deck of tarot cards and a d6 dice to play out the story.
The theme of the Game Jam was: Beacon in the Dark.
Prakasha means Light in Gujarati. The story is loosely based on Navratri: A nine-night festival around the story of a goddess defeating a demon. The festival also celebrates the Divine Feminine.
Note: If you don't have a deck of tarot cards or a d6 dice, you can still play! The game can randomly roll dice and pull cards on your behalf.

I really liked this! Went through it a couple times and enjoyed the differences in each attempt.
One minor issue I noticed is that piles 4 and 5 are automatically drawn even if you selected that you have your own deck. This was a lot of fun.
Thanks for playing! Yeah, I had to reduce the scope of the game to get it done in time, and so there is one choice about halfway through that pushes you to use either the whole Pile 4 or Pile 5 without you knowing.
My initial goal was to continue the branching style throughout the entire story, and if inspiration strikes in the future, I'll push out an update to do that.
