Occlude is a Lynchian horror cardgame for weird solitaire fans and the terminally curious

Summary
Rock, Paper, Shotgun has followed up its recent article on Regency Solitaire with a piece on a new game called Occlude, which uses the rules of solitaire to create a “Lynchian” horror narrative.
In Occlude, players complete rituals using tarot cards to unlock an archive of fragmentary lore, which could be an inventory of a character’s traumatic past.
The game’s developers, Tributary Games, describe it as “smaller and tighter than KOTC, but just as ambitious,” referring to their previous game, the political sim King of the Castle.
There is no release date for Occlude yet, but Tributary Games is running a marketing conspiracy game that offers a taste of the game’s setting.
The RPS article concludes by urging readers to dig out their old solitaire rulebooks in the hope of discovering something strange and frightening inside.
