Verdict (★★★★★★★★☆☆)
Though the game may appear like a mashup of an otome game and a visual novel, Arcana has much more to offer, especially when it comes to eye candies😍. As for me, the stunning visuals get me in the door, but it’s the mystery and charming characters that keep me coming back for more!
Still, if you're in it for romance and visual novels, there're tons to be admired here. Even so, the long waiting game and the difficulty of gaining in-game currencies are still driving me up the wall.😠

The Arcana: A Mystic Romance Review — Romance in the Cards
Reading Time: 3 mins 0 secs Whether you love or hate the occasion, Valentine's Day is right around the corner. Doesn't it feel like the year has just flown by in a blink of an eye? Nonetheless, it goes without saying that excitement is in the air for the hopeless romantics I have for mates, as they are on the hook for the most romantic day of the year. 🙄 Whereas for me, I'd simply love to be holed up at home with my feline friend, Rico. You know, lighting some scented candles, putting on some warm plush socks, and grabbing a knitted throw before curling up on the sofa.

charming but short visual novel about space witches and sisterhood :)) with elements of creating and compiling your own Tarot deck and influencing the future of the characters. P.S. From now on, my love is Abramar ✨ a very pleasant and relaxing game that, in principle, can be completed in a day. The game has 5 endings, but for the most part it is only affected by the actions at the very end. But each of them is cute :)).. Except for one thing...DON'T AGREE TO PAY ABRAMAR.

Something I could see better than witchcraft love stories
I'm always a fan of fictional love stories which gave me an interest in trying the game. The game's storyline didn't disappoint me at all. The usual average innocent girl about to dive into things beyond her beliefs. I got hooked on every encounter with each potential love interest, but it's sad that I had to pay just to get to the good parts of the story. Better yet, still an amazing game!
