So it’s a tiny bit more complex than Windows Solitaire, then

After makingThomas Was AloneandJohn Wick Hex, intense cyberpunk solitaire wasn’t exactly what I was expecting from Bithell Games. Yesterday, the studio announcedThe Solitaire Conspiracy, a new game in the developers' experimental “Shorts” series, which previously brought us the sci-fi adventuresSubsurface Circular and Quarantine Circular. This new Short is a step away from those, though, placing you in the shoes of a Spymaster tasked with taking down a supervillain… with playing cards.

“So… what if Solitaire, but extra, with powers and a full FMV storied campaign, time attack and skirmish modes!“Bithell tweeted.

Alright, so it’s a tiny bit more complex than Windows Solitaire, then.

Previous Bithell Shorts have launched pretty much out of nowhere. This time, though, Bithell Studios felt they needed a bit more time to catch people’s attention among this year’s big releases.

“You know, 2020,” Bithell says. “It feels like we probably need to spend a bit more time building up some interest and, crucially, wishlists and follows, to give our next Short a fighting chance. We thought 2 weeks.”

So, The Solitaire Conspiracy comes out on October 6th, and you can check out the trailer onSteamand theEpic Games Storeright now.
