The story was a really great idea. The art was beautiful, and so were the sound design and writing. I really enjoyed it! I’m not very familiar with the rules of the game though. good job
This game is beautiful. I love how the theme is incorporated into the story, and how high stakes the dice game feels after the first play through. The dice not only unlocks more of the story, but helps me not hurt our favorite regular LOL. I got way too invested.
I initially had questions like how does this guy not remember anything LOL but everything started making more and more sense. I also love your little spoiler in the description because its true. The guy across from me isn't actually bad, he's not wrong he's just doing what he's gotta do. This game is super polished, I love the game, the story just everything about it. Trust me, I have a short attention span, especially with reading but I kept playing despite that XD
Thank you. Glad you like it.Took my quite some time to write the story.
Very nice game! I made it through to an ending, and have to say I did not see the twist and enjoyed the story thoroughly. Very nice job on the theme. Also impressive to have that level of polish and a game + visual novel as a solo dev.
Also excited to see another interpretation of Liar's Dice! (very different rules/gameplay from my and the other one I found)

Sadley did not have enough time to play this fully, but what I did see was good. Captain Jack would be proud of your implementation. Good art style choice.
Mixing dice and story was a great idea. The art is beautiful, and so is the sound design and writing.
Im not sure the rules of Liars Dice were properly implemented though; there are many variations but I think in the most popular one if a player says something like 2 faces of 4, you can up the ante with 3 faces of 2, even if 2 is less than 4 :)
Thank you. Glad you like it. I intentionally implemented a stricter but simpler version of Liars Dice rule, so that UI and interactions would be intuitive without having to explain too much to a first time player of Liars Dice. That's why I didn't do wilds for ones as well.
Really enjoyable game! Had to play a few times to get endings. Only managed 3/4 so no idea how to get the last one.
Really great entry!
The style , music and atmosphere are catching from the very first moment! I would only cut some dialogs in the very beginning to get to the gameplay faster. Nice game.
At the start of the game jam, I had a pretty similar idea (story during playing cards), but I ended up switching to Papers Please style. Maybe that turned out to be for the best, because I doubt I would have been able to pull off a game of similar quality.
A very interesting take on the theme. While the gameplay loop itself is pretty simple, it stays enjoyable because of the story elements in between. Also the visuals and music make for a nice atmosphere.
Extremely polished art style! The pixel consistency really got me — everything looks so cohesive and well put together. Really nice entry with some seriously hooking gameplay!
Great job!
