The Steam Trading Cards are Spoilers

Enough said. I can't help but see them when I exit the game and they appear in my library feed. The joy of this game is plant detectiving. So why give the game away like that?

I was here to say the same thing :) The trading cards just spoiled two plants for me. I wish the developers use character portraits instead of plants.

yep... unfortunate choice for the trading cards.

Where do you see the trading cards? I haven't seen them.

New items in your inventory... is higlighted when you get new cards.

It's your own personal choice to look at the trading cards in your inventory. I never had this problem. Trading cards should only ever be of concern to you after you've beaten a game, anyway.

It's a game about studying plants and finding thire identity. Not going too much details, about the plot and the feeling of the gloomy atmosphere of the game.

To stick closer to the theme of the game, witch otherwise won't make sense. It's like putting a bird themed card into a plant themed card. Trading card doesn't have to anything about the game's plot, they are just there to be crafted, traded or if you wish keep.

They should had used the characters instead of the plants the name of the characters wouldn't spoil the game since that's information you get when you meet them and barely describes them.
On the other hand the moment you get the name of the plant you either already know if they want it and if you have the page already you would already know what they are used for.

A little disappointing getting a steam notification and then seeing a solution to your puzzle game (or whatever you wanna call it).
Felt a bit cheap. :)

Came here to specifically point that out. Too bad it's been a thing for two years.

they pop up as notifications... I don't need to go into my inventory to see them. :/

I think you can turn that notification off? no?

specifically "I Receive a new item in my inventory" if that is off no spoilers. I guess it could be still be said, but in 2024 you have to know some is there. GoT only helped so much.
