The Last Noita
A downloadable game
To those who came before me
The world is a much lonelier place without you. I walk down isolated alleyways and look at the murals sprawling across the walls left there by people who felt as abandoned as we did. I see layers of beauty there I couldn’t comprehend before. I’m sure you would have loved to see it. I wish you still could.
But despite your absence, there is still magic in these walls. You wouldn’t think it, looking at the rotting wood and the cracked paint, but running your hand along it, you can feel the thrum under your fingertips. The amount of potential people have put in these walls over the years is staggering. I’ll try to make the best of these blessings.
The world may be in turmoil, but we stand together against the tide. In unity we find strength, even if I only have your unity in spirit. We will forge ahead to better days yet ahead. I have to believe it’s still possible to fix things, no matter the odds. The world is never broken beyond repair.
Before I go, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. I would give up so much to not have to carry this burden. But I must keep it with me til the day I pass. I am the last Noita and I will make sure we are remembered before the gates of Manala halt my path forward. Because if I don’t, nobody will.
The Last Noita is a journaling game for one player, with optional rules to play it with a friend. In it, you take on the role of the last Noita, a witch with strange powers who serves their community the best they can. Explore a strange new world where you have to carry a heavy legacy on your shoulders. To play you'll need a tarot deck and something to record your journey with.

You are The Last Noita, hailing from a long legacy of powerful witches, and it is your duty to help those who would seek your aid.
This is an extremely open-ended game that gives you only vague prompts to answer for each round. Each round you decide if you will Aid or Explore and draw 2 tarot cards to determine who comes to see you or where you go.
Major Arcana cards have a prompt associated with them, such as a scholar who needs research help or a ruined library, but all the minor cards are extremely vague with only one or two words to guide you.
The game is also open ended, meaning you can stop at any time you feel the story is complete. There are no special conditions you need to meet to end the game. You could answer only a few cards, or you could even go through the entire deck.
The game also offers additional rules if you want to add risk into the game. These rules allow you to fail at helping people. For my playthrough I chose to just stick with the simple rules and resolve 10 rounds.
I played as the last Witch in an old cabin as the world was on the brink of collapsing as she and everyone tried to keep on carrying on even though they knew everything was about to end.

the last noita is a game about carrying on tradition in the ways you feel work as a witch helping a community, venturing through towns, or hiding out from hunters. the game allows you to tailor your experience to be as open ended or as direct as you so choose with interesting and fun backgrounds to assign your character, helping you better understand the way they'd tackle the problems posed to them. I had so much fun playing, and I feel like there's so many different ways to play this game if I decide to return to it!
