Forbidden Solitaire contains even more forbidden conversations. 🏴‍☠️

Clip: everydaybear on Twitch

Our local thrift stores have tonnes (could be cursed tho!?)

This streamer beat our demo and seemed to enjoy it!

Editing is a superpower. I've been edited and been the editor (games, magazines, PR, web). I solicit feedback often from writers way less experienced (as in: way less published, so far) than myself. I almost always learn something useful. Plus proof reading markup in red ink is cool.

No AI used in this game. We have a combination of: live action plus 3D rendered environments and items in Unity captured for use in 2D gameplay.

A new unseen trailer for the banned 1995 title Forbidden Solitaire has surfaced.

Forbidden Solitaire is in Yogscast Games' #tinyteams2025 event, which starts today. If you encounter streamers in possession of a short demo build, exercise extreme caution.

dream team 😀

I can finally share that - I’m a voice actor (and FMV actor???) on Forbidden Solitaire!!

I was already so excited for this thing as a player, I’m so glad I get to contribute a small part to its actual development. :)

...can anyone guess the cameo actor? A gamedev you may have heard before 😉

New trailer dropping TOMORROW!! 👁️🩸

I know it isn’t a very nuanced take, but this sounds like something written by pretentious tossers. Who are they trying to impress? (Other pretentious tossers, no doubt.)

A peek behind the curtain at the creative wizardry that goes into making our 'authentically 90s looking' pre-rendered art for Forbidden Solitaire!

I love these observations. I know they originally targeted German society but inhabitants of most nations could also use some of these points…

Surcare for laundry detergent and conditioner. Totally scent-free and washes properly. Can usually be found in *some* major supermarkets *some* of the time. Doesn’t set off allergies / itches in our house 🏠

Combining solitaire AND horror?!

Yeah, that's right up my alley, gimme.

Streamers can get a demo key for this early alpha build by applying to Tiny Teams Fest(for week starting 7 August) www.yogscast.games/tiny-teams-c...

Forbidden Solitaire on Steam Forbidden Solitaire is a card-slashing horror game about unearthing the contents of a cryptic 1995 CD-ROM that should have never existed. From the creators of Ancient Enemy and Home Safety Hotline.

Youngsters (22, 24) watching me play the demo for Forbidden Solitaire : ‘holy crap this is so ‘90s.’ And when the demo ended…’shit, now I really want to know what happens next!’

A good start to the weekend 👻

Modern medicine is truly incredible. They hadn’t even sequenced the human genome when I was a kid. We’ve moved on soo fast.

Forbidden Solitaire Dev Diary #2 Fake OS

Forbidden Solitaire - Dev Diary #2 (Patrons get early access) is about the "game within a game" concept and the fake OS we've made.

www.patreon.com/posts/135150...

1995 Forbidden Solitaire game screen with modern messenger dialog on top with messages from Emily Roberta saying: - Okay you've reawakened my obsession with this game. I'm gonna do some digging when I get home. - If I'm lucky maybe I'll find it on an abandonware site or something. - I blame you for any/all digital crimes I may or may not commit this evening.

When you are playing Forbidden Solitaire your sister is researching the game's history in the background and will send you messages about what she has discovered. And some of it is ... not wholesome.
