PathandTarot plays video games that have a connection to the tarot and the occult.
Not many video games contain tarot cards, let alone literal in-game booster packs of cards that contain random tarot cards. Because of the rarity of tarot cards in video games there are not many opportunities like this to capture a first impression. This is Balatro, a roguelite poker game packed full of occult symbolism, and tarot cards!

We are playing the game Pilgrims with the Path and Tarot deck! This is Pilgrims, a charming love letter to the classic point and click adventure genre of games. The game is beautifully designed with a unique art style that exceeds all of my expectations. The game has an outstanding soundtrack and sound design which I feel ties the whole gaming experience together. The puzzles you have to face are just difficult enough to make you think outside of the box, but they also contain elements of story telling. You should really play this game if you get the chance, and bring along your tarot too for additional insight.

Can I escape “The Room” with the power of tarot? I have no idea, but it’s worth trying. Using the tarot in unusual ways is one thing I aim to explore with PathandTarot. Can the tarot inform a video game? With previous games like the Binding of Isaac and Dome Keeper, it seemed to mirror the narrative I was developing as the player. It was uncanny. I say that word a lot, but I am afraid that it’s the best word that captures both my astonishment and my inability to explain what is happening.

I thought what would happen if I attempted to interject the tarot into a play-through of a game that has nothing to do with the tarot? Dome Keeper just came out, it looked great, I wanted to play it, and here we are looking at my first impression of the game while prompting with my tarot deck. I was alarmed at how well the tarot aligned with my play-through of Dome Keeper.

This makes for a strategic and unique solitaire experience.

Let’s play Karanos Solitaire, a unique game of patience for computer game lovers. This is a solitaire game where the player must use the entire deck of cards. To do this the player must group them together into combinations. To make a combination the cards must be moved to the top row. There are different card combinations that create different amounts of points. The player can choose to skip a card. When this is done the card is placed in the back of the deck from the top row. The player’s points are reduced by 1 for every card skipped.

I find that whenever I use multiple tarot decks I begin to visualize the play space as a video game. It just so happens that the Cultist Simulator by Weather Factory is a great visualization of what goes on in my head. You could be asking was it the chicken or the egg that came first. Well, I have to admit that I didn’t start reading tarot cards seriously until 2018 (that’s when the game came out). So, I guess well never know.
