If we're comparing failed Final Destination rehashes, Tarot is up there with the worst. Writers and directors Spenser Cohen and Anna Halberg aim for PG-13 sleepover-branded chills in Tarot, but sell the entire experience abysmally short. Their story about a cursed tarot deck is ludicrously underwritten and dopey, discarding established in-universe rationale mere minutes after cement dries. It's a movie that sequences events like they're mistakenly out of order, with Cohen and Halberg treating the audience like they’ve never seen a horror movie before — or maybe they’re praying we haven’t
In the film, stereotypical college students rent the equivalent of Scrooge McDuck's mansion on Airbnb for one of their birthdays. When the last beer can pops open, partiers panic and search the premises for hidden alcohol, which leads them into a musty once-locked basement filled with astrological artifacts — one being a hand-drawn deck of tarot cards in an engraved container.

Airdorf, the developer behind Faith: The Unholy Trinity, is turning to point-and-click Fmv-style adventure gameplay for their next title with Excuse Me Sir. And to add to the horror, Airdorf is enlisting the help of Dread X Collection contributor TorpleDook, YouTuber Jesse Cox, Siren Head creator Trevor Henderson, and TikTok star Molly Moon.
Currently available on itch.io as a demo with three possible endings, Excuse Me Sir started out as a “shot-in-the-dark tweet” by Airdorf. That turned into the present proof-of-concept centring on Moon as she aims to solve the mystery of her missing brother. That’s of course contingent on you making your way through and surviving Moon’s world, which is presented in “crispy chrunchety fmv-style graphics and audio”.
Gameplay of Excuse Me Sir consists of you navigating the world using a basic onscreen interface that echoes old-school adventure games. You’ll be talking with Moon, answering...
