Review:
The Arcana is an LGBT-friendly visual novel and romance game by Nix Hydra. Described as a “Mystic Romance,” the game has heavy themes in magic, tarot, and occult. It also has a strong Fruits Basket meets Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death” feel. The characters are based on the Major Arcana, and a large part of the backstory involves a yearly masquerade ball – and also a disaster that struck Vesuvia, the Red Plague.

the arcana character creationRight from the first screen, the art style is breath-taking. The art direction is cohesive, beautifully drawn, and the color pallets used throughout the game are magical. Purples, oranges, pinks, and golds with blues and teals evoke the mysticism throughout. The music is serene with the sounds of a babbling brook running under the sweet melody.

A unique feature that isn’t found in many otome/ romance games is gender identity settings. Before the story begins, you’re prompted with the screen on the left. You can choose your name and pronouns to customize the story for you.

Besides picking your pronouns, you can pursue any of the available characters regardless of gender. In fact, Nix Hydra confirmed at least one character is non-binary and three have had queer relationships in the past.
