Forbidden Solitaire was Originally HOME SAFETY HOTLINE SOLITAIRE @slicknicklives.bsky.social @greyalien.bsky.social #indiegames #gamedev #devdive #forbiddensolitaire #homesafetyhotline Watch the FULL Interview: youtu.be/22vPPhX4y68

This was a fun interview with insights on the two studios developing the game together.

Forbidden Solitaire is out now, and it's the brainchild of the combined talents of two teams, Night Signal and Grey Alien. I took the opportunity to talk to both sides of the coin at once, @greyalien.bsky.social and @slicknicklives.bsky.social. Enjoy at your own peril... youtu.be/22vPPhX4y68

Forbidden Solitaire is the wildest stealth horror card game you never knew you needed. A bizarre collab between the devs of Regency Solitaire and Home Safety Hotline is out now. @greyalien.bsky.social

Do we put too much effort into promotional materials? Maybe. Is it really fun to make and share though? Definitely!

Just finished Forbidden Solitaire. Wonderful game, clever solitaire mechanics, amazing pacing, and a wonderfully weird (and campy) horror story. Can't recommend it enthusiastically enough! ➡️ greyaliengames.com/forbiddensol...

I never thought I'd be fronting a Solitaire game as a GOTY candidate (but if there ever was gonna be one, it'd involve Grey Alien) but it's like... it's weird to call it 'loveable' because it's creepy as heck, but it's somehow easy to love it in the same way you might have hugged a boglin in 1989.

So @giantbomb.com took a Quick Look at Forbidden Solitaire youtu.be/BMsm_ROaIgQ?...

Forbidden Solitaire has a very strong chance of being my Game of the Year. Exactly what I want out of games. The teams at Grey Alien Games and Night Signal Entertainment knocked it out of the park. Play it play it play it play it (thanks @legendofnyx.bsky.social for the raid!) PLAY IT PLAY IT PLAY

Adam is away so while Ben was trying to decide what to play he stumbled upon a strange CD on the ground labeled "FORBIDDEN SOLITAIRE" and figured it would be chill to pop into into the streaming PC twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun

"What started as me being enchanted by the look and atmosphere, ended up with me being glued to my Steam Deck as the addictive gameplay wouldn’t let me stop." Check out my writing on the brilliant Forbidden Solitaire by @greyalien.bsky.social freakingindie.com/indie-week-1...

I beat Forbidden Solitaire today. It’s a fun solitaire game with a rote haunted game theme where the real horror is game development studio CEOs. A fun 4-5 hours.

OUT NOW: Home Safety Hotline 📞 Every call is a report. Every report hides something you may not want to find. Now on Switch & PS5 physically. Both platforms come with a reversible cover! 🖥️

Jake and co. are a perfect example of how every “overnight success” is preceded by years of hard work only seen by a small portion of the audience I love that Forbidden Solitaire is popping and I hope it funds many more games!

Sure, everything in life might be terrible but I completed a no bought gem run of Forbidden Solitaire.

I made this a few years ago in Blender. I've always tried to capture a 90s CGI inspired look with my art. I posted this to twitter and a lot of people seem interested in this aesthetic. Should there be games with a similar visual presentation? Are there any? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #blender

What is even happening right now? 1000+ reviews, overwhelmingly positive. Thanks everyone!

Ok ok ok new video game discourse: Forbidden Solitaire is really good

It was a good weekend to play Dress Up with my Beardie. 🖤✨

I'm not truly over the Forbidden Solitaire art style. It's too fun. So today I made a Medusa. 🐍 This isn't for an update or anything, to be clear. Just made it for shits and giggles.

I used to think I didn't like card games. Then I got really into Balatro and that was "the exception". But it made me want to try Poker. Then I played Inscryption. Then I played Forbidden Solitaire. Then I got super into actual solitaire. I think I actually do like card games and just didn't know.

I am making a game. The game is almost done. I am particularly proud of the unsettling, minimalist art style. I used to do many arts, but now I am rusty. Limitations!

Finished. Loved it, would highly recommend Forbidden Solitaire

Current obsession is this Common Hobb in a jar made by @tanomm.bsky.social 😍

I wrote about my experience with Forbidden Solitaire, an excellent game about a spooky haunted video game that features solitaire and full-motion videos of a wizard with an unconvincing beard. I can't recommend it enough, support indies! manastone.ca/2026/05/10/f...

I’m pleased to report that after one week Forbidden Solitaire has beaten my medium target with a Birkett ratio of 0.23. Huge thanks to everyone who bought it, reviewed, streamed it, and told their friends about it! Hopefully year 1 sales will also be good so that we can keep making games :-)

“Forbidden Solitaire is a game about a game that takes its players eyes, that asks you to ask yourself who’s trying to take yours.”

There’s a horror story woven in to Forbidden Solitaire about Bad Corporate #Gamedev Culture. It’s great to see that discussed in this review 👀

Have started work on an exciting update for Forbidden Solitaire!

Hey #indiedev peeps ~ I'll be sharing our Forbidden Solitaire marketing XP this summer ~ May 21st, StrangeBrew, Bristol: Impact! impress.games/impact/2026 July 16, Brighton: Develop www.developconference.com #gamedev #events

"Both in Night Signal's concept and visuals, and Grey Alien's design and coding, Forbidden Solitaire displays a deep knowledge and love of its subject — like all the best spoofs. And clicking on the cards feels great." www.polygon.com/forbidden-so...

If you got a kick out of the song in Forbidden Solitaire’s credits, a reminder you can listen to ‘Mirage’ via the OST + on all major streaming platforms and that you should follow our good friends at @graveyardviolet.bsky.social for more spooky rock tunes just like it!

There’s something kind of refreshing about how cavalier old horror sequels were about continuity. They’d change a character’s rules, personality, backstory etc on a whim and just expected you to go with it. It’s like every sequel is its own self contained thing unrestricted by what came before.

One of my favorite things to do whenever @slicknicklives.bsky.social launches a game is hopping into streams on Twitch to see reactions and thank the public for supporting us and our work/past work! 🖤 (It is truly so cool to see how much people love Carol too 💚)

Really loved this review! As a writer I am very happy the real-life development horrors behind the game's story are getting recognized here! This game has many of our own souls residing within.

Celebration cake!
