The Teller
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
The Teller
Become The Teller. Hold the world's fate in your hands as you balance the peculiar demands of your clients and the dangers of considering the profound whispers of an even stranger set of cards.
Play as the titular Teller, an oracle who channels higher beings through sentient soothsaying cards in order to make a barely sustainable living. Converse with the divine and decide how much of their prophecy humanity can endure as each rapidly splinters your mind.
Uncover the future by interrogating an omniscient yet elusive deck of cards, win at conversations, and try not to get crushed by the overwhelming responsibility of being the bearer of news. Will you dredge up secrets best left untold? Or ignore the cards and cling on to your final shards of sanity?
Features

- Multiple endings: see what becomes of the world that knows its future.
- A game that reacts to your choices: witness your fracturing psyche transform the screen!
- 1-2 hours of gameplay.

This looks very good! I'm trying to play it, but it loads into Fullscreen with no options, and the text is so large and oddly spaced that I can't even read all of it. Any chance of adding a Windowed mode? Thanks for any help!
Excellent, a interesting experience.
