She might be stuck on a giant rock hurtling through space, but The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood's clairvoyant witch Fortuna has all the creature comforts you'd expect. These include a bubbling cauldron, bookshelves stacked with well-worn magical tomes, and an ancient preternatural entity offering her the promise of immeasurable power.
My hour-long hands-on preview gave me a taste of the magic yet to come, and it put more than the fate of an exiled witch in my hands. Desconstructeam knows a thing or two about spinning an epic yarn, having developed narrative-driven adventure experiences like The Red Strings Club to rival some of the best visual novels. It's not often I find myself so engrossed in a game beta, but with its immersive soundscapes, interactive gameplay mechanics, and the seeds of a thoughtful story starting to sprout, The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood had me hooked in minutes.
