Forbidden Solitaire

Forbidden Solitaire drops you into 2019, unwrapping a battered CD-ROM you picked up from a thrift store. You half remember the ads, half remember the controversy, and now you’re finally about to find out why nobody talks about this game anymore.

From the folks behind Home Safety Hotline comes a proper 90s FMV nightmare, all grainy dread and unsettling music, paired with card mechanics from the veteran team behind Shadowhand and Regency Solitaire. You’ll be clearing decks to survive dungeons full of death, buying upgrades from a disturbingly friendly eye in the wall, and hunting down Jokers that can turn a run from bad to brilliant or brilliant to horrifying.

This one blends cosy solitaire loops with genuine horror atmosphere. It’s the kind of game that tells you to uninstall it before it’s too late, and that’s probably good advice worth ignoring.
