Meet the main character - you ✨ One day your whole world crumbles around you. Literally. The sky splits, and everyone you know turns into dust. You escape to the thousands of glowing portals to any dimension imaginable. Only you are trapped, and hundreds of other you-s don't seem to care. That's when a stranger appears and offers you a card, a key to any world. The price is high, and yet you take the chance. Your adventure begins at the Crossroads. 🪐 Episode 2. You and the Mage set out on a field trip! 🚀 Prepare to travel across the universe: Cups, Wands, Pentacles - peoples with stitched mouths and half-felines. Also, apparently, the Black Emperor's back (scary!), Maze is out there to get you, and the Sun guards her twin's secrets. Your card is the key to any world, but can you wield it properly and will that be enough to survive? ☄️ Episode 3. Welcome to the Black Castle! Make yourself at home, 'cause the Black Emperor won't let you leave anyway. The Black Empress couldn't be more friendly, never mind a few attempts at your life. The Mage is not by your side, thanks to his cousin, and Maze certainly haven't given up on your card... The Black Emperor is himself, which is everything but what you expected of him. Buckle up, it's time to face up all of your worst fears!
