Hey! We shipped a factory game about hiring people with your voice you cannot quite trust.
Trust, but verify is our Brackeys Game Jam 2026.2 entry. Theme was TRUST NO ONE. The title is the rule. Murder mystery meets work management.
You run the floor. You hire the crew. Any one of them might hunt when the lights die.
Record a voice for each hire. In the dark, that is how you tell who is talking, and who is planning to stab you in the back.
A session
- Pick a manager. Each one changes how the floor feels.
- Open The Shop. That is the first floor. Seven floors sit on the map. Clear a goal and the next one opens.
- Hire. Then make them speak. One take per line, or Skip.
- Keep the line running. Pull stock, work the press, ship the goods. Eat and sleep or you slow down.
- Lights die. Watch who works, who hides, who walks toward you.
- Killers leave hints. If you think someone is a killer, retire them from Crew. A wrong call still costs you.
- Hit the goal. Leave for the map when you are ready.
The booth
- This is the part we care about. Each hire gets a short voice session. You hear the line, then you do it. Lock a take or hit Rec again.
- Those takes stay on that person. When the floor goes dark, you hear them in the black. A stranger with your voice is worse than a stranger.
- Skip is fine. Friends recorded fallback voices for us: thanks to Steve, Laura, Marsi and Cleyn.
The dark
- The fuse is how you get the lights back. Do not stand near anyone when you flip it.
- Some people keep working. Some hide. Some go quiet. Some walk toward you.
- You are the Leader. WASD, E. If you die, the floor is over.
Controls

Play in browser. No install. No accounts. Windows, macOS, Linux, Chromebook. If the browser can use a mic, you can voice the crew. No mic? Skip, and they still talk.
