But what is The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood?
The beginning of the trailer is reminiscientof a kind of magical realism we see in games such as Kentucky Route Zero. Still, The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood doesn’t waste time revealing that it’ll be even more magical than expected.
It tells the story of Fortuna, a witch who lived in exile on an asteroid until she made a pact with some sort of space devil to gain back her freedom. She then reunites with her coven on Earth and goes on a mystical journey through space and time, where she’ll come to terms with her abilities and responsibilities.
The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is a narrative adventure. It’ll put a lot of emphasis on the journey and relationships with Fortuna’s coven and with the friends she’ll make along the way, but it will also feature more technical gameplay elements.
Gods Will Be Witching
Fortuna is an arcane witch. She can craft special tarot-like cards that will grant her the ability to revisit the past and foresee various possible futures for the people she meets. This mechanic will invite us to have a positive impact on the lives of every character she comes in contact with. Will we make things better?
It seems like we might be looking at one of those games that you’ll have to replay a few times to finally get that perfect ending, and that’s great.
The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood will release on Nintendo Switch and PC on August 16. Pre-ordering it on Steam will get you 10% off.
