—————————————————⚠️ Spoiler Warning—————————————————
This project is more than just a game — it is my personal expression, and also a formal farewell to my beloved cat, Bozai.
In the game I call him Bobo, like a child’s nickname, and also use the name Shadow — both for the cat, and as a double meaning for the shadow in the mirror, the shadow in my heart.
Through this work, I’ve tried to share my thoughts and feelings when losing pets who were taken as family, and who loved me back with all their heart.
If this resonates with you, I would be grateful if you share your own stories in the comments.
✦ About the Tarot Cards
I am not a professional tarot reader — I am simply interested in it, so my interpretations in the game might be quite surface-level and personal.
But among the seven cards in this game, three of them — Four of Wands, Page of Cups, and The Fool — were real draws I received after my cat passed away. These three cards gave me tremendous comfort at the time, and so they became a kind of core for this project.
That is why, even though the Four of Wands might seem out of place among the Major Arcana, I insisted on keeping it.
