In Faraday Blues, you play as Lina, a mysterious girl who wakes up in a place she doesn't remember and can't understand. She comes across an old computer with a strange game board filled with cards. Two of them bear the faces of her parents. However, they have no idea who she is. Worse, their lives are already marked by tragedy.
As Lina, you have to do the only thing you can: reset the board and attempt to change fate.

As mentioned, Faraday Blues is a card game, but it is also a visual novel. Instead of the cards featuring creatures and dealing damage, they represent people. There are a total of 52 cards containing characters, memories, items, and pieces of the Faraday family's lore.
You will use these cards to step into the timeline and manipulate these events - but be prepared to face the consequences. You can place one person outside a room instead of another, and it may alter reality drastically. Have two characters spend time together, and their relationship may change drastically. Introduce an item to someone, and they may get influenced in a way that lasts decades.
