A solitaire game with humor and a meta plotline. I really enjoyed the visuals, with exception of the final boss, i wasn't the biggest fan of the design. The game isn't overly complex, but keeps introducing new small mechanics to stay fresh across the runtime. One downside for me is that the integration of the story into the gameplay felt quite clunky. The player is interrupted numerous times by chat message pop-ups during card game sections, and the background story of the in-universe [i]Forbidden Solitaire[/i] video game is told through audio recordings(?) of the creator of the game and other characters, which felt a bit unnatural. Despite these gripes, I can still recommend [i]Forbidden Solitaire[/i] for its fun gameplay, humor, and beautiful graphics. I have yet to fully dive into card games, but this game pushed me a little more in that direction.
This was a great little horror gem. Not an avid Solitaire player, but the game made it fun and it wasn't too hard for me to get through it, always a plus. The story had me hooked! My playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLM2AayaEngXQ

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

This was a random shot in the dark game that i bought because i love playing solitaire, but it was a fantastic game and i enjoyed every minute of it! highly recommend!
I had never played Solitaire before and decided to let myself be tempted by Forbidden Solitaire since I love horror and since I enjoyed Home Safety Hotline (also because the aesthetic reminded me of Goosebumps). This game is so fun and deliciously spooky! The difficulty curve is also perfectly balanced on the first run (you unlock a Hard mode upon completion). Also when you finish it you get a fascinating artbook that explains how the whole development of the game took place in detail. Read everything from end to end. Thanks to both Grey Alien Games and Night Signal for this gem!
WHO THE F*** IS PAPA GIRTHQUAKE???
IT'S SOLITAIRE. WHY THE F*** IS SOLITAIRE VIOLENT?! So Forbidden Solitaire itches all the right scratches, just like the games before it. Night Signal Entertainment once again manages to nail the analoge horror vibes of their game, while at the same time managing to fulfill that feeling of playing a pre-2000's PC game. The nostalgia, mixed with the horror and humor of all of this being related to solitare, leads to a great game. Of course, I feel I should mention, this game is purely solitaire. The story is fun, and the graphics are fitting for the feel they're attempting to emulate, but don't expect the greatest of graphics with utterly dynamic gaming. They have their own spin with the boss fights and other bits-and-bobs, but it's still solitaire. Bloody, violent solitaire.
A solid game that really nails it's aesthetic to a truly believable level, soundtrack is BANGIN and the game looks great. However, the elephant in the room is that this game has some very similar themes to Inscrpytion, but doesn't execute them nearly as well. I'd say buy on sale, but it doesn't need to be a deep discount.
I had found this game adorable. Stay with me I know adorable is an odd word to use for a game that is a playable creepypasta. However it is the dedication to make this feel like a random 90s lost game that just so happens to have a mystery behind it that is so charming for me. It has a bit of a love letter feel that really got me excited the moment I saw trailer and watched the husband play the demo and accidently back seat gamed him as someone who is somewhat familiar with the solitaire game used (Tripeaks) to act as the game base. Story wise it has some rather commonly played out tropes that comes with the gaming creepypasta genre but I could push that to the side and enjoy the story being told as it's expressed in varied ways that were engaging. I wanted to also give praise for the option to adjust a particular sound trigger. Gushing aside it is a game that can be somewhat done in a single session unless you are trying to do all the things for achievements. Currently have a NG+ run to just see how that goes and maybe pick up some stuff I missed. However it may also just be a game I come back to despite doing all the things eventually just because it is a bit of a spice up to a solitaire game type. Game gets a bit rough at about mid to end game which is expected but not sure if that will feel worse on NG+ but there is a note to be mindful of the settings as you can put yourself in a lose lose state and be forced to start a new run to adjust the options. Honestly big props for such an amusing crossover of these two studios given their contrasting portfolios.
Very cool solitaire game with a great art direction. It's a bit "gory" and there's a 3 page list of content warning relating to the game, so be mindful that you might be disturbed while playing the game.
saw it on sagan hawkes' youtube channel and went OH DAMN I GOTTA PLAY THAT as not only am I an enjoyer of indie horror, solitaire is my time-waster game of choice. a delightfully spooky and 90s themed dungeon crawl with a solitaire twist, which kept feeling engaging and fun to play! took me nearly 8 hours to beat, over the course of two days. definitely a game I'll be coming back to from time to time when I get a solitaire hankering. I'll get a 25+ combo eventually...
