How does the game fit the theme?
You are an appraiser in an antique shop. Every client brings a painting and a story about who painted it — and every story might be a lie. The only thing you can trust is the reference book and your own eyes: check the canvas, the frame, the signature against the artist's habits, and decide whether the client is honest, a forger, or simply mistaken. Buy a fake and the shop bleeds money; turn away a genuine seller and it bleeds just the same. Trust no one — verify everything.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Engine: Godot 4.7.
Fonts: Spectral, Cousine, Shantell Sans (SIL OFL 1.1), Homemade Apple (Apache 2.0) — all from Google Fonts.
Sound effects: royalty-free clips from the Sonniss #GameAudioGDC bundles (trimmed and normalised).
Win/lose jingles: floraphonic on Pixabay (Pixabay Content Licence).
Client voice bleeps: dmocha's Text/Dialogue Bleeps Pack (CC BY 4.0), credited in-game.
Everything else — all art, the paintings, the two music tracks, all code and writing — was made during the jam.

Wow! Really good game. In first round, I bought everything (-810$ 😭) but then I discovered it! Great work.
A great game. Small but Interesting enough. I am wondering you actually draw the all 16 pictures by your own? That is amazing! Also, although the theme is trust no one. When I spend time identifying, I only earn 20, 000 bucks. But when I trust everyone, I earn 190, 000 bucks. haha!
A total of 21 paintings were created, and 2 of them were painted in advance on real canvas and photographed. Thanks for playing - I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
