How does the game fit the theme?
LIEJACK turns “Trust No One” into a blackjack investigation game. Seven strange dealers may secretly alter the rules, card values, payouts, or outcomes of each table. Players must question every result, identify the anomaly, and submit a report before running out of chips or making three mistakes. In this casino, you cannot even trust the rules.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Some sound effects were sourced from Pixabay and free asset packs.

A great and fun game. The art are beautiful too. Great job!

This seems very polished! Love how it looks. I think you should make it so if you get a deduction wrong, something should tell you what the actual anomaly was.

Cool idea and beautiful art style! I would add some kind of counter that automatically calculates the total value of the cards like in RDR2.

Super cool style, it made me mad when they changed the rules!!!

blackjack where one rule has been quietly swapped and you play hands to work out which one is a great idea, and filing it in the notebook makes the guess feel official. slick presentation too

A nice blackjack entry. Love how different opponents are. The only issue is that cards on the table hard to read. Otherwise it's a solid game prototype, well done!

A fan of blackjack, so you know this type of game is good for me! Although, I easily don't pay attention to anything, so it was hard to find the altered rules but hey, that's the game. Well done!

Went 7/7 on my report :) Awesome game and easy to understand. I always appreciate simplicity over complexity. Nice!

What an awesome game! You're fueling my gambling addiction while also making me become a badass investigator. Was that one dealer a portal2 reference?

Really well done!

5/5 Rating. Hands down the best game i've played this jam. What an atmosphere! Such a cool concept and so well fleshed out. Also big love to the portal reference Thanks for making this game!

Super juicy when a player busts out! I really like this idea  of playing a simple game to see what rule is broken/changed and blackjack is a great game to do it with! The perspective of this game reminds me a lot of Inscryption, and I like cycling out characters with minimalist eyes, it adds a lot to the vibe of the game!
