Tarot cards - behind the scenes (0.6 spoilers)

Here's an easier-to-read view of the cards Chestnut designed for the card-reading event. What we saw in the game was covered with smoke and shapes and perhaps wasn't easy to see, but I remember Chestnut putting a lot of time into researching different tarot cards and their popular meanings to better decide which ones worked with the story. We wanted to include things like Death and the Devil because they're famously dark cards that matched Rose's background, but things like the Three of Swords needed the extra work. Oh, and in the earlier version, the Star wasn't a star but the symbol of the main character's Gift, but we thought that was a bit too much, so Chestnut had to redesign that card.
I hope you like this tidbit about one of the elements of the game's art that, in an event where so many things were going on, was perhaps not even noticed.
Cheers
