About Forbidden Solitaire

It’s 2019. You brought home a strange yet familiar 1995 CD-ROM game from the thrift store. You vaguely remember seeing ads for this game, and some kind of controversy, but you never got the chance to play it.

Until now. Delve into a 90's FMV-inspired digital hellscape of dungeons and death with visuals, story and music from the creators of Home Safety Hotline. Survive the horrors with bloodletting solitaire gameplay from the veteran indie team behind Shadowhand and Regency Solitaire.

Purchase upgrades from the friendly eye that watches you from the walls. Uncover a variety of game-changing Jokers - some helpful, some malignant. Uninstall the game before it's too late.

Forbidden Solitaire is a simple twist over classic solitaire games, using a 90s adventure look and some horror trappings to make the playthrough a bit…

If you've played one of Grey Alien's other solitaire games you'll find the solitaire puzzles very familiar (up or down type). This is set in…

This game does a really good job of looking like a game from the 90's, with dithered FMVs, stiff animations, and an oversaturated palette. To…

Let's start with the fun part, the solitaire. It's decent, nothing groundbreaking, but still enjoyable. Then what is disappointing? The horror aspect of this game.…
★ 4 / 5
A solitaire with a fun twist and very well made 90's digital horror aesthetic. But still barely more than a solitaire.
★ 5 / 5

★ 5 / 5
It's got the simple mechanics of Tripeak Solitare, but it's full of FMV goodness. The story is simple and telegraphs where it's going, but that…

Lots of casual fun with a enough tension to keep some stakes in the game. The New Game+ mode also alows for lots of options…

Great game, not what I expected. I expected another Balatro, but this is something comepletely different! Highly recommended

Forbidden Solitaire takes the casual solitaire formula, wraps it in a creepypasta tortilla and tops it off with strategy and combat. The result is something…
