Hey! I think this would probably be fine. I did a fair bit of checking when I was designing the game to make sure all the options and prompt lists worked out, and there’s a lot of tolerance built in anyway to account for people skipping prompts they don’t like. In short—if you think it fits and would be fun, I think it’s a great idea!
I just wanted to say thank you for the community copies. I've been meaning to pick up a copy of Koriko for a couple months now, I just felt I didn't have enough time to devote to another story/game.
Well, now I have the time. Plenty of time. Too much time, but I need to preserve my funds to stretch out as long as possible, to hopefully hold me over until a get a new job.
So again, thank you for the community copies. A little joy and coziness goes a long way right now. When I get back on my feet I'll fund a community copy to pass it forward.
Hi guys!! How do I get an community copy? Im from Brazil and in the moment I cant afford for that :(. When I try to get an copy it says I must give at least $18.00
I'm gonna go ahead and grab me a community copy, but the second I get my hands on some money I won't hesitate to donate! It just looks so relaxing, I bet I'll have a great time with it. Thanks again!
Snagged a community copy - thanks! This will be my first foray into solo/journal RPGing, and I'm super excited. Have a long history with tabletop gaming but not so much with roleplaying!
To my understanding, you don't. Major Arcana serve as confidants only, but the book does state that "not every character you introduce to your story needs to be a confidant, and not every confidant has to have a memorable impact on your story", so you could put the confidant prompts of confidants you're not interested in as more background events lightly touched on, or simply ignore the card and redraw.
Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity in providing community copies of your game. I’m a disabled pension who can’t afford much so these free gifts really help me out in playing games and keeping my mind active. I won’t be broke forever so plan on coming back when I’m able to help out.
I really appreciate your hard work and kindness in providing community copies.
This is one of the best solo games I have ever played hands down. All of the prompts are seamless, the questions moving you from scene to scene while still granting you the creative freedom to add your own flavor and vision to the world you create.
I hope to see more solo rpgs from you, I’ve become quite addicted!
I am loving this so far. It's rare I spend hours on a solo rpg so thank you very much.
I'm a little confused by the dice stacking though. it says that you choose two out of the four skills when you do something risky then you stack one two or three dice depending on the amount of lessons you have under a skill. Does this mean that if you have less than three dice under two of the skills that you would stack six dice? Or is it just three dice for one of the skills? I've been doing the former.
Edit: Ignore me. I'm evidently blind. You're referring to the skills on the top right of the page spread. I do think though this is a bit confusing when the pdf is one page at a time with no spreads since it's on the second page of the spread
Hiya, I have a question about confidants and major arcana cards as I'm not sure if I'm playing correctly. I'm about to finish Arrival, but I haven't met any confidants yet/pulled any major arcana cards and thus have no circle. I'm struggling to understand how major arcana cards end up in the volume. Is it random? or did I miss an instruction to add them deliberately into the volume? Thanks for the help! I'm really enjoying playing the game :)
Edit: I've been reading through comments trying to understand and it seems I may have created my volume wrong at the start of Arrival but I'm not sure exactly what I did wrong. Does anyone have advice or insight on how to correctly create the volume after organizing the suit decks?
Absolutely gorgeous game! I'm currently in my first playthrough but I can already see the re-play-ability, how each play can be different depending on small choices you make, and more. The artwork is splendid and the prompts make me sit and really think about how I am going to move forward. I Love It!

I just bought the physical at a game store and then found out there was a tarot deck, I was wondering if there is any way I can get my hands on a copy of the tarot deck that would have come in the boxes edition? I really love the art in this and would love to have the deck itself
Hey! Lovely to hear you found the book in the wild :)
There’s no way to purchase the deck & dice separately at the moment, but when I do a reprint I’ll be offering a small number of upgrade kits for folks who want to add them to their book. Best bet is to subscribe to my newsletter :)

I didn't realize there is a n option to play together now.
What a lovely game you have here, Mouse Hole Press team.
I saw a question on Reddit and I thought I would share it here since I did not have an answer.
"Can I use a confidant's hangout prompt if it fits into my moment prompt?"

Koriko is available to be licensed for a portuguese edition?

Hey, scroll down a little from the ‘Buy Now’ button and you should find the ‘Community Copy’ section :)

How do you play the major arcana cards if you don't want to add the character to your circle as a confidant?
To my understanding, you don't.
