Description

"From the future me to the past me
Tomorrow, I am going on a journey.
It's a mysterious letter from the future."

The Journey of My Future Self, a.k.a., 明日、旅に出ます, is a solitaire game in which you are invited to go on a journey and follow the mysteries of a closed world. As you travel, you encounter incidents from the past, present, and future, all of which will be repeated over and over again. You have to know them all in order to solve them. Will you be able to solve the mysteries of this world?

In more detail, The Journey of My Future Self is a game of medium to short-term planning in which you have to constantly think about the best way to move your pawns, taking into account the numbers 1 to 6 that are randomly given and the numbers that are yet to be seen.

The small number of cards used in the game (30) makes it difficult to recover from mistakes, and a single mistake can make the game impossible to complete. For this reason, we encourage thought experiments (trial play). This is all part of the solitaire nature of the game, which is designed to be played slowly and deliberately, without disturbing other players, no matter how long you think. We want you to forget everything else and immerse yourself in the game!

You can manipulate the difficulty of the game to some extent by using any combination of "items" that change the basic rules. If you want to enjoy the atmosphere of the game, you can use more items to reduce the difficulty. If you are aiming for a solid high score, you can choose to barter the risks and benefits. This freedom of use makes the game replayable and flexible, allowing the player to adjust the difficulty according to their preferences.
