Yes, now you can closet yourself in with your computer, turn down the lights and find out how your life came to be all screwed up. And how to unscrew it, even.

Don't ask me why, it begins with a pleasant starlit scene of a modern coastal city viewed from offshore. Soon the moon rises and the soft susurration of waves breaking is heard. This is your signal to press "start".

The computer than asks you to enter a question, maximum 21 characters, about anything. It will digest your input and show you three cards, one of which you will be asked to pick - this should be the one most applicable to your situation.

The screen will clear and display eight cards, each of which has a special meaning regarding life's perilous voyage. Based on your previous question and card chosen, you will see your prospects covering each card shown.

Unfortunately, the necessary limited database can make it no more than a novelty. The 16K version omits some cards.

This game, with nice graphics, could be of interest for those who find the occult fascinating. Other lusters after the unknown may wish to continue on their way.
