Games Like TATANO Card Care

Fourteen days to empty the shop.

You come home to help your father clear out the card shop your late grandfather left behind. It has to be emptied in 14 days, before it is sold. Then, behind the counter, you find an old biscuit tin. Inside it: Solardrake, a legendary first-print Tatano card, damaged after 30 years.

You know this world. You grew up playing cards with your grandfather, and you know every Tatano, its value, and its collectors. But you have never restored a card. That was always your grandfather's work. Now, over 14 days, your father teaches you his craft, one tool at a time.

Restore, don't replace. Clean, inspect, scrape, tweeze, scan, annotate, roll, and press. Eight hands-on restoration steps, and each one unlocks a story about your father and your grandfather. A perfect restoration doesn't erase a card's history. The creases stay. That's proof the card was loved.

Run the shop by day. Serve the regulars. Each one carries a card, and a story with it. Appraise, trade, and keep the shop alive while the countdown runs. Your father is loud and bombastic on the surface, and he has his own way of saying what matters. You'll learn to translate him.

A secret only you know. A letter about your future sits folded in your pocket. Your father doesn't know about it yet. What you tell him is up to you. So is when.

Every day counts. The shop's progress and Solardrake's restoration move separately. How far you take each one, and what you choose on Day 14, decides the ending.
