51 cards
Not really a story; just the brief reflections of a depressed narrator, set to an eclectic mix of music and numerous photographs of playing cards.
Made in a flash of inspiration over the course of two days, and about halfway through became an experiment in mood setting through oddly juxtaposed background music.
Inspired in part by Abulic Monkey's photograph series "Playing Card Death." I had the basic idea before I started looking for background images, but seeing these photos really shaped my development of the game's imagery.
