Forbidden Solitaire warns us to uninstall it 'before it's too late,' but I played the demo anyway and now I want more

A screenshot of Forbidden Solitaire. Several playing cards are displayed in the middle of the player's view with their hand below. A dark purple hallways extends into the dark in the background.

The Steam page for Forbidden Solitaire warns you to uninstall it "before it's too late." I saw this a few moments after closing the demo that just dropped today, so it's possible my PC is now haunted by unimaginable horrors. But as a Windows user in 2026, I've probably seen worse, so I'm just going to go ahead and tell you why I think this haunted little card game is worth the risk and we'll see if I survive until the end.

Forbidden Solitaire wastes no time before getting weird. I was only a few minutes into playing the demo when I was offered some upgrades by an eyeball in a wall. It followed my cursor around as I hovered over gems that I thought would be slotted into rings on the giant hand in the middle of the screen. But when I bought one, my character jammed it right into his flesh.
