The Card Flavor Text (SPOILERS)

By Leafenzo

Ever wondered what the flavor text on the cards say? Like, not what the dialogue tells you, but the actual writing on the cards?
Well here's me and the discord's efforts at figuring that out! +Confirmation and help from the devs!

Yo thanks for all the input. Changes have been made. Everything's almost fully decoded now! Thanks

(it helps a lot if you pay attention to which letters can correspond to which letter shapes on the cards. i also found that using a crossword solver [www.crosswordsolver.org] to figure out what words could be based on known/semi-known letters was also quite useful). anyway sorry for the comment spam, that's all i have for the moment.

21:
• title: i'm pretty sure the first letter is 'M' (cf. the 'H' in 09). it could be 'Move Gargoyle'? that would fit with what happens in that section of the game.
• regarding the first line of the description: it's definitely not 'bloodbaths', that doesn't fit the letter shapes in several places (1. there's a space in it, 2. def not a 'b', 3. def not an 'a', 4. def not a 't', 5. def not an 'h', 6. 'baths' is not long enough to fit; there would be an unaccounted for letter on the end). 'blood tokens' both fits the letter shapes and makes sense within the context of that text and the context of the other cards (the word 'tokens' appears on many of the other cards, after all). i don't think it's ambiguous at all :shrug:

23:
• 'Remember Past'.
• 'Revert to earlier state'.
• 'changes' would fit for the last word, not sure
24:
• 'Haunted Architect'.
• 'Express compassion'.

17:
• 'Nostalgia_ Power'? 'Nostalgiac', perhaps - a misspelling of 'Nostalgic'?
• 'Pay' seems correct, not sure about the word after it or the first word of the second line.
• the word before 'what' is probably 'to'?
18:
• the 'F' in 'Fear' is capitalised.
• second word of desc could be 'instincts', though i'm not sure.
• second line is 'Remove 4 food tokens'.
19:
• 'Aquatic Skies'.
• 'Question the things you' 'appear to understand'
20:
• probably 'tremble'. definitely can't be 'bramble' given the letter shapes (def not a 'b', def not an 'a').
• the second line could be 'Remove all attachments', though i'm unsure abt the last word (it does fit the letter shapes, but i'm unsure if it fits the meaning).

11:
• first word is 'Proprietary', second word... could be 'Ablation'?
12:
• 'Quick Pass Toll'.
• 'Bypass all toll booths' 'And also trolls'
13:
• i agree with 'Target'.
• first letter of second word in title is 'M' (cf. 'H' on 09).
• last two words in desc are '4 units', i think? neither 'smile' nor '_mile' fit; there's def no 'm'.
14:
• 'Choose Clothing'?
• 'Sense', 'atmosphere', and 'clothing' seem correct.
• not sure abt the word before the number (which looks like either 5 or 9).
15:
• for the title, i have no idea what the first word is but the second is 'Kintsugi'.
• for the description: 'Resurface all walls', 'Remove 4 damage tokens'.
16:
• 'Paired Movements'.
• 'Synchronize with cards' 'Of matching type'.
