Old druid mentor · warm counsel · unlocked from level 1
“Seasons taught me this card. Plant now, child — the rest is patience.”
A tarot game with characters
a mirror, not a forecast
Unlock four mages as you level up, each with a voice of their own. Cast spreads they read aloud for you — your question, your cards, this night — and collect all 78 cards into your grimoire. The cards don't tell your future; they help you look at your present.
Arrive with a full well — 300 energy and skip-the-line at launch; every friend who joins through your link adds +100 (up to +700).
Double opt-in — we store only your email, never share it, and erase it after 30 days if unconfirmed.

The journey
Earn XP with every reading and rise through tiers, each with its own title and ceremony — unlocking mages, avatars, and card backs as you go.
One card under each day's moon. Keep the streak, earn moon charms that guard it while you rest.
Nine cards dealt face-down — you choose three. Past, present, future, read as one arc.
Five cards the mage deals for you — the hidden, the obstacle, the path forward. Earned, not given: it opens as your journey deepens.
Every reading is composed live in your mage's voice — no two are alike. Stay awhile after: ask what unsettled you and watch the answer arrive word by word.
All 78 arcana wait to be met. A card seen three times is bound to your grimoire for good.
The craft
Morana · The Crossroads
The Moon, reversed · Two of Swords
You asked about the leaving. The Moon, reversed — the fog is thinning, and what you feared was a wall is a door you painted yourself.
Two of Swords holds the middle: both blades are yours, and neither has been swung. Put one down. The night is long enough to choose in.

Questions
Free to download and play. Your daily card is always free, and spreads draw on energy that daily rituals restore. A premium circle runs every reading at full depth — it deepens the game, it never gates it.
Each reading is composed the moment you cast it — written with Claude, our AI partner, in your mage's own voice: your question, your cards, this night. Nothing is pre-written, and no two readings are alike.
No — and it never will. Arkanika is a mirror, not a forecast: the cards frame honest questions about your present. It's reflection and entertainment for adults 18+, never medical, legal, or financial advice.
Your words stay yours. Readings are never used to train AI, prompts are deleted within 30 days, and you can export everything or erase your account — from the app or right from this site.
No. Open the app and pull your first card as a guest — no sign-up, no email. Connect Apple or Google later only if you want your journey to follow you across devices.
Soon. Arkanika is in its final rites before the App Store, with Google Play to follow.
