Lots of content for a 1 week jam! A level to explore filled with different mini-games and puzzles. Your team should be very pleased with the what you have submitted! The rhythm game caught me by surprise - wasn't expecting to find that in this game!
I loved the art direction you went with, mixing 2D animation for the player's POV and also the post processing on the 3D environment. Adding voice acting and the pixie and an unreliable tutorial helper was a nice touch!
Maybe a skill issue on my part but I did find myself confused on a couple of the puzzles - after reading through the tutorial I attempted what I thought was right and was instantly caught and reset. I saw the golden square light up and the King say he needed 7 knights, so I joined and was instantly caught and reset. I tried interacting with the cogs but any action I took reset me and the puzzle didn't reset once I came back. I tried keeping the heat level in the green zone for the cooking initially and failed the puzzle.

How does the game fit the theme?
You lied to the King. They said - CONVICTED OF LYING TO THE CROWN - and gave you five days before the block.
LIARS' KEEP is a castle of lies. The only Truth in this place is tutorials in mini-games you need to pass to escape.
Interact with objects & liars in this Castle to get out alive. (Check GIFs and description on the game page for help)
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We crunched hard & made everything from scratch!

Cool setup with the "you lied to the King" thing, and I liked how it's this weird castle full of liars with little mini-games to survive. The cooking bit was fun, and the credits music actually goes hard haha. Theme could've been pushed a bit more maybe, but this is still super impressive for a jam game :D
This was awesome, i can totally see this being made into a longer game with more content. I also didnt expect a cooking minigame to be so fun
Wow, can't believe it you made all this in a week! It's short, but really, REALLY polished!
My only complaints are the tutorial texts skipping way to quick an it not sticking too much to the trust no one theme... And I guess I wished we had more time with the fairy, they seemed funny.
In spite of that, this is a beast of a game. The credits theme is a bop!
Really cool ideas, but the game does seem to just suddenly end without warning. I imagine you just ran out of time for the jam, which is understandable, but I would really like to play a much longer version of this. Especially since the theme of lying never really went anywhere in the game.
I really enjoyed this game. It was an incredibly fun experience. The art, the menus and the general aesthetic is so cool!
One problem that I had with the game is that I would like the tutorials to disappear with a click instead of automatically, but you can read them again with a button, so it's cool.
I found a couple of bugs while playing, but nothing that made me quit. All the minigames are really fun... except for the stealth (I was just running through and nothing happened lol).
Now, I don't feel like the theme of the Jam is fully applied. Also, the level design felt... weird. Like everything was kind of disorganized.
But overall, I really enjoyed the game, it was fun!
tysm for feedback! Please, check the game again, it got a massive update! Now you can see more of that funny fairy which tells the theme better, and minigames are optimized + added one more. and for example, if you tried going up the stairs in the main hall, there was nothing.. well, now there's something:D not much, but it kinda has some meaning now.
have fun!
Very fun (and funny) game! Great job on the animations.
In some of the tutorials, the text goes past too quickly and I couldn't read what it said. Managed to finish it either way as the mini-games aren't too hard, but letting players click instead of the text being timed would be helpful!
